A Little Boy’s World
by Barbara Kunz
A little boy’s world is a place to have fun in--
To climb on, dig into, jump over and run in--
As venturesome as the games he plays,
And as timeless as each of his carefree days.
It’s filled with the everyday things he likes:
Puppies, ice cream, baseballs and bikes;
Things that roll or crawl or fly,
Paths to explore, “double dears” to try.
It’s a place to learn what he needs to know,
To laugh, to think, to watch and grow;
For a little boy’s world, as small as it seems,
Is as broad as the future, as high as his dreams!
Little Girl’s World
by Reginald Holmes
Blue jeans and sneakers, hair tightly curled,
One little girl and a make-believe world,
Adores playing house or shopping downtown,
Make-believe weddings, a lace curtain gown.
She’s trying to learn to cook and to sew,
All the things a young lady should know,
But more efficient, as folks will agree
At skipping a rope or climbing a tree.
She faces each day with a smile on her face
And leaves happy memories time can’t erase.
The future is shaped with the feminine art
From dreams that lie in a little girl’s heart.
