Fly away

Fly away small little bird
Fly away to your home
Fly away to shelter and peace
Please leave my head alone

May

A brand new world is waiting for me
As I climb this old oak tree
There are spiders, beetles and bugs galore
Chipmunk, squirrels and birds no more
They fly away as I come their way
Don't you love this month of May?

Up and Down

Up and down the waves do go
Up and down the roaring
Up and down with forward thrust
Up and down we're rowing

I know a spot

I know a little spot
Where pheasants like to nest
Deep inside the grass
Peep, peep, peep

I know a little hill
Where ponies like to play
Galloping, galloping, galloping
Neigh, neigh, neigh

I know a little plain
Where cattle like to graze
Far into the glen
Moo, moo, moo

I know a little bush
Up beside the hill
Where bunnies like to hide
Hop, hop, hop

Lullaby

Little one so soft in my arms
Let me hold you and make you my own
Little one I sing sweetly to you
Let me protect and comfort you

Little one be strong and brave
Let me guide you in the way
Little one so dear to my heart
Let me bring you peace

Childhood

Jumping, sliding, hanging, falling
The swingset rolls and falls
Brightness allures, sweetness invites
Spring has filled my child heart

I laugh, I sing I turn and turn and turn
Till dizziness overtakes me and I fall wonderingly on the ground
I feel the rotation of this whole earth beneath my back
Once I have breath I flee away trying to catch up with this ever moving world

Animal Winter

The spider dances a web all night, in the corner of a quiet house
Gophers are borrowing their earthen beds
Deer in the mountains are stripping the trees
Bats are silently hunting
Little birds cuddle up in their nest
Bears are deeply sleeping
Squirrels are eating their nut supply
Fish swim circles under the ice
All in an animal winter
