You Can Never Have Too Many Sparkles

You can never have too many hugs or kisses,
Too many dreams or worldly wishes.

You can never have too many laughs or smiles,
Too many friends or family within miles.

You can never have too many tears of joy or sorrow,
Too many shoes that will get you through tomorrow.

You can never have too many salty or sweet treats,
Too many comforts when you are feeling weak.

You can never have too many questions about who, what, where, when, and why,
Too many details that teach us how to get by.

You can never have too many days of rain or sunshine,
Too many birds or butterflies giving you a sign.

You can never have too many prayers for the day,
Too many thank yous of gratefulness to say.

You can never have too many adventures or experiences in life,
Too many unknowns that take courage and strife.

You can never have too many walks, runs, or bike rides,
Too many fireflies that light the night sky.

You can never have too many lyrics that you’ve said,
Too many songs or daydreams in your head.

You can never have too many forms of art,
Too many miracles that warm the heart.

You can never have too many inspirations or ambitions,
Too many pathways and roads that will teach you life’s missions.

You can never have too many thoughts or ideas that are new,
Too many chances to let everyone see you.

You can never have too many sparkles that make you shine bright,
Too many reasons to follow your light,
Follow your light.

Let Them Fly

A poem by Michele Foote

Morning sunshine is coming up,

Coffee brewing for that cup,

Pitter patter of feet coming near,

Giggles and giggles is what we hear,

Cuddles so sweet, we cannot stop,

Down to breakfast we will hop,

Eating our cereal, it will pop,

Giggles and giggles is what we hear,

Pitter patter of feet coming near,

Time to get dressed and start our day,

Curious of learning and time to play,

Buses and cars are zooming by,

Some are walking, some stop to say hi,

Teachers are smiling and lead the way,

Let’s listen closely to what they say,

Growing, growing, every day,

Hear your voice and find your way,

Raise your hand and ask a question,

Give a helping hand or suggestion,

Giggles and giggles is what we hear,

Pitter patter of feet coming near,

It’s time to go home, the bells are ringing,

Clubs, activities, and play time for creating,

Homework, baths, and story rhymes,

Nothing better than family time,

Giggles and giggles is what we hear,

Pitter patter of feet coming near,

The weekend is here and it’s time for fun,

Out to the soccer fields, watch me run,

Birthday parties fill us with cheer,

It’s wonderful to celebrate that we are all here,

Playgrounds are busy with kids everywhere,

The sun is shining, we could be anywhere,

Kids on swing sets, they are swinging,

Filled with happiness, we feel like signing,

Let’s swing so high and touch the sky,

Comfort them, see them, and honor them – let them fly.

Let them fly.
