The Turtle Tale
by Lizzy

The turtle's shell is hard
It's neck is soft and smooth
His heart is swollen full
With love from me to you

He has 2 little turtles
That follow him along the trail
Their legs keep moving slowly
As he tells this special tale

The night was full of hope
The sky as black as night
But the sun came through the clouds
And everything was quite alright

The little one's jumped in the lake
They laughed, they cried, they danced,
Finally the next day
They were in a trance

They hugged the flowers
They ate some grass,
swam slowly in the lake
And took a little nap

And when they finally awoke
Mom and dad were at thier side,
And so I tell this tale again
And hope we never say good-bye

The Pink Pen
by Lizzy

Once I had a pink pen
It was as pink as pink could be,
I loved that pretty pen
It was everything to me.

Until that sad and gloomy day
It jumped off my desk,
The teacher picked it up
And put it in a chest.

I cried and cried
For weeks and weeks
And still no pen in sight
I was becoming very weak.

The very next happy day
The teacher talked to me,
He said, "Keep this pen close to you."
I nodded and said, "I see."

My pretty pink pen
Who was missing,
Hugged me tight
And gave me a kissing.

My pretty pink pen and I
Were happy as could be,
And plus, love was in the air
As we lived in perfect harmony.
