Poems...

Here are some poems that I had to work with in my school. I hope you enjoy them! 


My Gift
 What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I'd give Him a lamb;
If I were a wise man ,
I would do my part;
But what can I give Him?
I'll give Him my heart.
-Christina Rossetti-

A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl
lived in an oak;
the more he saw,
The less he spoke;
the less he spoke,
the more he heard.
Why can't we all
be like that bird?
- Edward Hersey Richards -

Hay Making 

It was late in May,
We were making some hay.
It was hot and dry.
Just like July.
-Lydia and Sarah Ring-

The first one is one of my favorites...did you know it's the last verse of the song "In The Bleak Mid-winter"?

The 2nd two are funny!
