Snowflakes touching my face.
Clouds racing across the sky.
Sunshine reflecting off the windows.
And me, on the winter street, listening.
-Mrs. Rastin
Screams of laughter from sky.
Parade music and dancing in the street.
Thunder in the distance,
And me, outside the Tower of Terror, listening.
-Mrs. Rastin
Jarring buzz from the tabletop.
Splashing shower in the next room.
Purring cat in my ear.
And me, rousing from sleep, listening.
-Mrs. Rastin

The important thing about a boat
is that you sail with it.
You can go fishing and catch fish.
And you go in different waters.
Sometimes it rains and you
have to go to the bottom of the boat.
It is heavy but the water can lift it.
But the important thing about a boat
is that you sail with it.
Nelson

is that you play with them.
We run together.
We play tag.
We laugh.
But the important thing about friends
is that you play with them.
Summer
The important thing about Spring is that it always comes.
The snow melts and you see the green grass.
The robins return and are busily building nests.
The sun starts to warm the trees
who show off greening buds.
And just when you relax with a contented sigh,
the snow and cold return.
But the important thing about Spring is that it always comes.
