Let's Start at the Beginning..... Laura's earliest poetry

(Laura’s poems, we think from second grade. Written one after another on a small piece of paper.  I found them yesterday going through

moving boxes.) Sent to Laura's Daughters from Her Mother a few months ago.......

This was another one of those "gifts" from her. To be able to read her thoughts from childhood is so fun. I am just beginning to teach these darling poems to my own kids. 

 Night

Stars are shining in the night

Shining, shining Oh so bright

See them shining, O just see

Looking down at you and me

Shining in the pretty sky

Now it’s morning, say goodbye.

Smiles

Smiling, smiling

Through the day

I’ll sing, I’ll laught

and I wil play

Yes I will smile all

through the day

And in a happy smiling way

Snow

Glittering, Glittering

Comes the snow

Here it comes so

Light and slow

Moonlight

Moonlight shining in the night

Shining with glory light

Shining, shining

Oh so bright

The Park

I went to the park

and what did I see

A small, small turtle

Looking at me

Hellow[sic] Mr. Turtle

I happen to say

Hellow, he said back

How you doing today?

Mr. Giraffe

Mr. Giraffe has

A neck so high

That it reaches

Way up in the sky

Mr. Giraffe has

A perfect view 

Of the land so

Green and the sky

So blue.
