In You
In you, I see what
I will grow into.
The way I will live.
The skills I'll use
to care for myself
and for others.
In you, I see
all I hope to be.

Ready to Dive In
Ready to Dive In
I've always been
one to dive in.
What I've learned is
that I might not
make a big splash.
I may struggle to
get back to shore,
but I'll be ready
to dive in
at the next
opportunity.

The Squirrel and The Hawk
The Squirrel and The Hawk
The squirrel was out hunting acorns.
He spied a beautiful oak tree with
many acorns scattered within
a few feet of its trunk.
As the squirrel approached,
he noticed a hawk sitting
on one of the branches.
Since the bird was facing
in the opposite direction,
the squirrel decided he
could proceed with caution.
He became more bold as
he glanced up and still saw
the bird's back.
Suddenly, the hawk swooped
down and carried off the squirrel.
The little rodent didn't notice the
bird's head turning toward him while
it's body remained stationary.
The moral of the story is--you
never no when a situation may
take a turn for the worse.
You may have guessed that the prompt was to write a fable.
April 27 is Poem in Your Pocket Day. Share poetry!
