My Dream

I’m soaring over a beautiful golden field
with my flock of dragons and phoenixes
We are going to meet the moon goddess
and the rain goddess
on the top of Fire Hill.

It is becoming night now
and I’m flying over the silver stars
I’m holding a branch of
pure light in my hand
to light my way.

I’m at Fire Hill and the
rain and moon goddesses
are floating in front of me.
We are talking
about the ways of our planets.
We have finished talking.
We wish each other good night.

I’m soaring over Mother Earth
back to my home planet.
I’m home now
and now I’m asleep.

Earth

Earth spins around
and
flows like a
stream.
Earth is home
to
animals, people and
plants acorns apples
and fish. Earth is friendly
to the sun
that keeps
us warm
and the moon
that has the shining
stars and makes sure we
sleep
at night.
Earth makes the ocean
beautiful and the
streams and
rivers
bright.
Earth makes the
rain pour,
making puddles
and
flowers bloom.
Earth is home.
Earth is life.

Difference

A single flower can make a difference
A little forgotten detail can make a difference
A few minor changes can make a difference
A change in the moon or the tides could make
a difference

Some little shells washed up on the beach
could make a difference

The smallest things can make a difference.

Bring Peace

If only I were a person that could
stop people from littering.

I would bring peace to the world
for all people.

If only I could help
all of the people that are poor.

I would give them food and water
to help them survive.

If only life

there is one

Rain

The rain goes shhhhhh
It gives the fish water
and the mountains take a shower
in the rain. They use the grass
as a towel
and people say wow
it is raining elephants and giraffes
and whales today.
If it rained video games
and snowed TVs
and hailed board games,
I would love storms.

Dreaming

Dreaming is like having your
own world.
Dreaming tastes like blue
and purple
berries dancing around.
Dreaming
is like treasure, but more
than that.
Dreaming is friends to
love.
Dreaming is wonderful
because it’s
a dream!
