"Catching Sun Rays "


I want to touch a SUN-RAY, and follow it into the sky.
I want to hear the forest sing.
So come along with me.

The forest is dancing.
Yes, spring magic is in the air.
I smell magic.
I smell spring.
The trees are singing- do you hear their songs?
Birds are chattering happy songs,
and butterflys are flittering here and there.
Maybe I will find a Sun Ray to touch.
And if I do,
I will follow it into the sky.

I heard the sound of rushing waters,
as it raced along the river bank.
Tiny silver bubbles floated down stream.
I wonder where the bubbles go?

The little buds on the bare naked trees,
are starting to peek out at me.
Tiny leaves are unfolding,
and wiggling in the breeze.
Red leaves, and green leaves,
wiggle and call to me.
I think, that I see a Sun Ray!
Could it be?
As quick as I saw the Sun Ray come-
it was gone!

Little ferns are poking their heads out of the earth.
Baby ferns are still curled up sleeping.
I will be quiet. I will walk softly.
I think I see a Sun Ray.
Maybe I can touch it, if I hurry.

If I could just touch a Sun Ray.
I'd follow it into the sky.
And then I would climb a rainbow.
You could come along with me.
If only,,,,,,,If only
Do you ever wish "if only"?
Why do Sun Rays disappear,
before my very eyes?

I will keep looking for my Sun Ray.
But until I find it,
I think I will make mudpies.
Nitey nite, my friends
love

We love laying in the sun too! But, Tweedles, why do you have to scare us by sitting in the sun high up on that log???

Looking for Sun Rays sounds like a fun way to spend the day, while listening to the birdies and chasing flutterflys too!
You look like you're enjoying your forest so much, we wish we could come play with you there too!

Hey there Tweedles!
You are so,so sweet and highlight the beauty of innocence!
I am of the opinion that the magic about sun-rays is that you CAN'T touch them...they can only touch you! Have you seen the sunshine in your smile?

Dear Tweedley this here is HOwie. I liked your poem, specially most of all the part about mud pies. I am wondering when you will write a poem about food?
your biggest fan,

Hi Tweedles, Thanks for taking us on your sun ray searching adventure. Looks like you just about caught one.We are searching for sun rays here too. Mom says not for another whole day . I'm going to sit in my sunspot and wait, maybe they'll come early.

Jan Mader said...

We loved your story Tweedles and you know what? You caught sun rays that you didn't even know about. Those beautiful sun rays are shining in your sweet little heart! xoxo

Paula said...

Oh Tweedles, we wish we could come look for the sun rays with you!

Chatty Crone said...

I'm looking for a spot in the sun too. Now how in the world did you get halfway over that log? You be safe girl.

You are just adorable and I love your adventures - especially since you are looking for spring.

Hope you found it.

Sweet Tweedles,
Don't you just love the first signs of spring? I sure do.

You are so BRAVE sitting on that log! You be careful, ok??

Stubby said...

Hi sweet Tweedles! You look so cute in your little red fleece traipsing through the forest. I know you were walking slowly so you wouldn't wake up Owlbert as he slept.

I tried to catch sun rays the other day. A momma robin came to my backyard and told me that she catches sun rays and that she would teach me how. She flew off, high in the air, almost out of sight and then all of a sudden she was back on the ground with a sun ray. It was amazing! Then she told me it was my turn and I ran as fast as I could but I couldn't get off the ground. The sun rays were out of my reach but at least I tried.

Stubby xoxo

I saw your butterfly in our garden this morning, he must have flown like the wind to get here so quick.
I gave him a gummy smile and told him to go home. x x x

You live in a beautiful place, complete with an enchanted forest. I think this forest is kind of like Peter Pan's Never, Never Land. You remind me of Tinkerbelle, a little on the mischievous side. I like the way you look at life, through eyes of beauty and innocence. You are such a darling little girl and your Moms love you very much. Thanks for sharing your world with us. Love you!!

Life With Dogs said...

Beautiful as always Tweedles. Your powers of observation and story telling are unsurpassed. :)

Sharon Wagner said...

I only recommend eating mudpies made of chocolate.

Diane said...

Oh Tweedles, look at you on that huge log! You look so cute sitting there but you better be careful, little gal! I don't want that cute little pug butt falling. My kitties love the sun rays too.

Hi Tweedles!

Penny and I love your photos!
It looks like there is so much to
explore where you live!

The picture of you on the log,
reminds us of the scene out of Dirty Dancing!

We hope you are having a great week!

dw said...

Tweedles, I do believe you will catch a sun ray one day, and ride it high into the sky and slide along on a rainbow! The sun warms so much and brings life and happiness so I just know it wants to be found and followed! And you, Tweedles, will show us the way!
