Premium MemberLove for Children

In rooms where futures are decided,
old men argued about small voices,
children who had been silenced
for a thousand years.

"Should we teach them in English,
the language of their masters?
Or let them speak
in their grandmother's tongue?"

One truth burned bright:
every word they chose
would echo in ten million hearts.

They decided:
Let the Kannada child
dream in Kannada first,
let the Tamil child
sing Tamil

Books for Children

Children
imagine,
but their imagination
is still not enough.
Many images
are preparing to enter the children.
Children
cannot read books with just words.
Without beautiful pictures,
they cannot enter the stories.
Without fun pictures,
the stories cannot enter the children.
Without books,
children cannot enter the world.
Without children,
the world cannot enter the future.
The world will not become
what children imagine.

Goliath frog jumped out of a mailbox
Chased off a dog, a hog, and a fluffy fox
They straight away ran up to a giant ox
ox was terribly ill with itchy chicken pox

You two are on your own! Yelled the irritated fox
Goliath frog jumped all the way back to that mailbox
What do we do now? The hog

Premium MemberFeel Sorry for Children

I feel sorry for the children who do not know
Where grandma and grandpa and the puppy go
Some have been told that dead is dead.
No spiritual beliefs have ever been said.

The soul is something of which they do not know.
They have never been told of it, they miss the glow
Of spiritual truths, they think that dead

Premium MemberTHANKFUL FOR MAGIC AND FOR CHILDREN

Today I’m thankful for magic…for children…
and for the wonderfully innocent view of the world they bring…
Because…
when we are fortunate enough to see the world through the eyes of a child
we’re be able to see magic…in everything

Packing for Children

To pack for a weekend 
With children requires
Much more than a tankful
Of gas and good tires.

You have to remember 
Their PJ’s and clothes,
Their brushes for teeth
And for hair, I suppose.

Shampoo, soap and toothpaste
And lotion for itches,
The books they are reading,
The iPads and Switches.

Perhaps a stuffed creature 
Or doll that’s a fave
And surely some snacks 
Of

Premium MemberThe Tree of Fame - For Children

There was a witch who lived in a tree
Truly loving and kindly was she
Although she wasn't glorious of face
Her heart was truly in the right place.

The witch loved to wake to sound of birds
To their songs she would write her own words
Then she'd join in, a choir they became
Her home was known as The Tree

Premium MemberMonorhyme Poem For Children

a cute little nipper
sat on the big dipper
his voice was so chipper
when he lost his slipper

it’s gone said the dipper
I know said the nipper
it fell on a clipper
I’ll need a new slipper

laughter from the dipper
charged up little nipper
he leaned down to the clipper
and retrieved his slipper

On a Roll, Poem For Children

Let's roll the dice
and we'll begin,
to see what rolls and turns and spins -
an apple, falling from a branch,
a carousel where horses prance,
the ocean when it rolls to shore,
a bouncing ball across the floor,
a skipping rope going round in loops,
a brightly painted hula hoop,
the sun that dances in the sky,
our bicycles when they go by,
the

Premium MemberEaster Song For Children

I am on the hunt for Jesus today
He loves me true, so happy Sunday!
He died for me, he died for you!
Is that an Easter egg painted blue?

I run through the grass, it tickles my toes.
Jesus is watching, he goes where I go.
I am on the hunt for Easter eggs true.
Here is a large pink one
