Poetry and pictures to brighten your day
There’s a girl down the street,
Who looks really sweet,
When she smiles at people she knows.
She wears skirts all in pleats,
And her hair is so neat,
With ribbons tied up into bows.
Just one thing is silly,
About the girl who’s called Milly:
When she’s happy she wiggles her toes!
God gave the brave a voice,
So we could speak out for the rest:
For ones with little choice,
And all who do their best.
Do away with yesterday,
And tomorrow there’ll be no sorrow,
If today you make hay and play,
For time you cannot borrow.
This story is all about Molly,
Who got a pet parrot named Polly,
But the bird did not talk,
She wouldn’t even squawk,
But Molly still thought she was jolly.
Then one day when Molly felt sad,
She told her mum and her dad,
She’d go for a walk,
While they taught Polly to talk,
And when they agreed she was glad.
As she picked some daisies for stringing,
She heard the telephone ringing,
So when she got home,
She ran to the phone,
But found it was just Polly singing.
Embrace your limitations,
Your problems and frustrations;
They’re not here to stop you,
But to guide you on your way.
