"As The Wind Blows"

As the wind blows you can see the
tress swaying to the left and swaying
to the right. You can see the children
flying kites in the park. You wish
some day you can take flight.

As the wind blows the sail boat
rides across the mighty sea.
From the small sparrow to the
sea gull it flaps it wings to stay
high in the air.

As the wind blows it helps water from
deep below comes up to gives us
the help we need. In the dry
hot desert you see in this devil’s
land a rolling tumble weed.

When you stand on this green
blue earth and take a breath,
with your nose. You can have
thanks in your heart and see
with eyes as the wind blows.

"A Shooting Star"

In the night warm air you see
a star twinkling, high above in
the night air. Suddenly it races
across the sky, it’s a falling star
does it feel pain at all or do you
hear it cry?

You wonder how long has this
star been twinkling in the night
air. How long does this star
been so bright? Before it
streams across the night air
with a mighty flare.

The awesome star is now
gone. Where can it be? It
was twinkling in the night
air. It won’t be found
from dust till dawn.

Will all the stars soon be
out of sight? When you
look up in the night air.
You see no twinkling as
look with all of your might.
