I need help with a children's poem.
 

My cousins little girl gets to do a page for a yearbook. She is only SEVEN so we are looking for a poem about a princess or maybe something about school. I would appreciate some help from all my creative YT friends. I have been looking online but so far I haven't found anything appropriate yet. Thanks for any help you can give me.

princess poem
 

My Little Princess

Dancing with butterflies
Making flowers grow
Light fills your mind
and everything you know

Princess of Joy, Peace and Hope
Wish on a falling star
God shines on and through
everything you are

Bright and shining smile
touches all who see
Mixing dreams and hopes
Flooding the world with glee

Watched by scores of angels
May love always be your guide
Precious and innocent miracle
Releasing the magic from inside

I'll go check in my childcraft poem book. i know there is some cute stuff in it.

That is awesome. Thank you so much. I will call her mom now and read it to her.

That's beautiful~ I love it! Where is it from?

I found this poem:

Summer’s Here

Summer’s here!
Another year
Of school is at an end.
We’ve learned a lot
And grown a lot
And made a lot
Of friends.
We’ll say goodbye,
Now summer’s here,
It’s time for us to part.
But we’ll remember all our friends
And keep them in our hearts.
~Helen H. Moore

I would suggest you try something written by Shel Silverstein. He is a GREAT children's author. He has several books full of children's poetry. (A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk Ends)


I'm Sick And I Cannot Go To School Today

by Shel Silverstein

"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox.
And there's one more ... that's seventeen!
And don't you think ... my face looks green?

My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke.

My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my spine is weak.
I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent - my spine ain't straight.
My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...

... WHAT?

What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is ... Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

poem
 

I found it on the web. I searched for princess poems and it was the one I liked best. I think it's beautiful.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but will the school let you put a poem in that she didn't write because of copyright laws and such. Some schools won't let you break copyright laws at all.

He was so talented. I especially love this one! :)

Yes, he was great, IMO. I think I have most of his works now...maybe one or two of the individual stories I don't have. Most of them I think I can recite off memory.:rolleyes:

My favorite is boa constrictor!


Boa Constrictor


Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff . . .

Shel Silverstein

I think my favorite would have to be either "Clarence" (who bought a brand new maw and a better paw) or...

Stung by a Bee
by Shel Silverstein

I got stung by a bee
I can't tell you where
I got stung by a bee
It was just lying there
And it tatooed a message
That I can't let you see
But it spells out....

'Hello, you've been stung by a bee.'

I love that it was 'spelled out' in the pic on somone's cartoon bottom!:p

Patti (Baby Blessing) wrote a poem for you. She sent it to my email and asked me to post it in your thread. Here you be!

Teachings from Special People



Now I learned my A B C's,

Counting my Numbers 1 2 3's.



I have lots of friends and fun each day,

I ask God to guide me through my studies I pray.



My hope for the future is one day to be,

What ever my heart desires, God holds the key.



He will direct my path in whatever I am to do,

With Him by my side he will see me through.



Lessons I've learned, so many its true,

Never forgetting my teachers whatever I do.



Their guidance and teachings will go with me forever,

My memories of her/him I forever will treasure.



Thanks to my parents for giving me a good start,

Forever to hold on to their teachings, from me they will never part.
