A lovely afternoon in Stanley Park,
the Summer Dream Festival down by the sea.
Spent most of my time this day,
helping the children with their poetry.
~~~~
Then up on stage, pooh bear in hand,
we read their words to those watching the stage.
Such fun, such fun, I had with this
and I was totally in line with their age.
~~~~
I had a gas, helping children rhyme,
their innermost feelings of things that they love.
Two little girls spent their time with me,
I was blessed in a forest from Heaven above.
~~~~
So many children laughing
and listening to poetry rhyme...
They kept coming back for more and more,
please, read this poem of mine?
~~~~
Such a joy to be blessed with the care of the child,
to teach, and to show them this day,
how to express what they feel inside
in an inspiring and positve way.
~~~~
The rain held off,
though the day looked grey,
but a lot of good people
came out our way.
~~~~
The tents all up, the crew on hand,
Vancouver’s finest were out this day.
Some first-rate writers in this western land
came out to share their say.
~~~~
Hallelujah, hallelujah for the poets,
among the most eloquent at His command.
We’ll help to lift the consciousness
of humanity in many lands.
~~~~
Teach the children how to speak,
to reach out to others for inspiration fair.
Teach them how to express themselves
how to teach others what they’ve learned, to share.
~~~~
For the spoken word is in the hands
of our children and their children too.
So let’s teach them how to make a better world,
with words written of beauty, and of peace and of Truth.
