2. Limerick
Out went the dark cat of the night
To see the vicarious sights.
Its mem’ries were good,
Strong-hearted it stood,
Wanting feeling of taking great flight.
3. Ode to Nature
From dawn to dusk are shown the sun’s bright rays
That set those great green rolling hills ablaze.
The grassy dew will rise into the haze,
And birds will wake to sing their hymns of praise.
With noon comes warmth upon the creatures’ feet--
Their great abounding beauty hard to beat.
The gleam of green upon the silken leaves
Is so much better than such ghastly thieves.
The setting sun brings purple, orange, and pink
As wind blows over trees and mountain brinks.
Once shade falls over land and sea and sky,
Nocturnal critters wake to creep and spy.
With bright-lit moon arrives the starry night;
I’ll pray once more for days of lovely sights.
4. Sunflower, Sunflower
Sunflower, sunflower, how do you
grow—
Out in the field where the wind always
blows.
Sunflower, sunflower, reaching so high,
Stems of dark green that reach up to the
sky,
Bright yellow petals that glow in the sun,
Even with darkness, the glow is not done.
Sunflower, sunflower, swaying so free—
Out in the open with nothing but glee.
You are created from way up above—
Maybe from sunshine or maybe just love.
5. The Mysterious Puzzle
The universe is so big and grand. It is so wide and tall—
Its depth infinite and its beauty magnificent.
There are so many things within its absent walls.
Where do all of these things fit
In the mysterious puzzle?
For everything has a purpose and fits in somewhere—
Every bird and every creature, every word and every feature.
But where do they all go in the mysterious puzzle?
All of the trees and flowers, all of the good and bad powers—
There is a reason for it all.
But what could it be?
What reasons shape these puzzle pieces?
These crimes and these wars, these times and these opened doors—
Which goes with which? What goes where?
We have so much to learn and so little time to burn.
We may gain knowledge through experimentation,
But we obtain wisdom through simple observation.
What is this mysterious puzzle?
Where are all of the pieces?
Where do they all go?
I am unsure; it is not yet my time to know.
But I need not stress, fret, or worry about this mysterious puzzle.
Let us just have fun and stay positive
