The Pond Was Singing

The croaking sounds were not very loud,
 but I heard them ohh so clear!
 My ears followed the croaks to the pond
where I heard splishing and splashing!
 The sounds were not very loud
 but I heard them ohh so clear..

 I saw the frogs croaking and laughing
and leaping to and fro!
   I wanted to laugh and  croak too!
 I did not croak very loud,
 but I croaked along with my best croak
and my biggest leap of all!

  Spring birds were sitting in the trees chirping and tweeting
  and fluffing up their wings.
 Their tweets were not very loud,
 but I heard them ohh so clear!
I wanted to tweet too,
 and so I did.
 My tweet was not very loud,
 but I tweeted along wth my bestest tweet!

  And then the sun's smile began to stretch across the sky
 as if  a paint brush had been dapped in blues and purples and cotton candy!
  The sun's smile was ohhh so big!
 The sun made me smile.
Today the pond sang its song!
 Nitey nite.

Let's Go Home Now

'Let's go home now Tweedles.'

I heard the invisable voice say.

 I looked behind me

 but I could not see anyone.

 'Who is there ?'

I whispered?

'Who is there?'

 I said these words out loud!

I looked in the tree tops

 and there was no one to be seen!

'It's been a good day Tweedles.

We danced in all of the mudpuddles in the forest,

 and we played hippy hop

 like little toads

Now all the birdies are beginning to peep!

 and the sun will soon be going down behind the mountain.

It will be time to sleep very soon!'

  My mind was full of wonder, but I was not afraid.

Nothing in my forest can scare me away!

Suddenly I heard the voice again and I looked beside me.

And there- standing right beside me - was my shadow.

My very own shadow!

'Let's go home now.

Come on, I 'll run beside you!

 Let's look at the sky

and count all the stars

and look for the brightest

 of all!'

And so we did.

My shadow and me!

'Hurry!

 Let's go home.

Let's snuggle under blankys

where we will be safe and warm!

Let's peek out the window

and

whisper nitey nite

to the smiling face in the moon.'

nitey nite

If Only I Had Wings

If only I had wings -

 Do you wonder what I'd  do?

 I would fly as high as the highest

 star

 and then I would tickle the moon!

And then when the  sun

rose in the sky

I would soak in her gentle rays

and I would spread the rays

as far as I can see

 and still further-- forever and ever.

I'd hide in billowy

purpley clouds

and

 play peek a boo with all the little flowers

and you!

If only I had wings,,,,

I would sit in all the tallest trees,

and chirp like little birdies

and

I would fly across the seas and oceans...

So many things that I would do-

if only I had wings!

But I have  four little paws

and a tail that wags

and

 I run and jump and giggle

and I dream

 everyday,,,

about so many precious things-

things that really matter-

And then I remember

 that

 I am the tweedles

 and I am happy

with who I am.

You are you

and I am me

and that is how it should be.

nitey nite

love

tweedles
