Friends

by Abbie Farwell Brown

How good to lie a little while

And look up through the tree!

The Sky is like a kind big smile

Bent sweetly over me.

• A, B, A, B

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, B. A

The Sunshine flickers through the lace

Of leaves above my head;

And kisses me upon the face

Like Mother, before bed.

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, A, B

• A, B, B, A

The Wind comes stealing o’er the grass

To whisper pretty things;

And though I cannot see him pass,

I feel his careful wings.

• A, B, B, A

• A, B, A, B

• A, A, B, B

So many gentle Friends are near

Whom one can scarcely see,

A child should never feel a fear,

Wherever he may be

• A, B, A, B

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, B, A

Three Little Piggies

by Paige

I have three piggies who live in the shed

They sleep in their food bowl and eat in their bed

They drink lots of water which makes them go wee

This usually happens while they are sitting on my knee!!!

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, A, B

• A, B, B, A

He And I – A Wolf And A Girl

by Jessica Franson

The lovely cool breeze blows on me

As we run, he and I

Over meadow, hill, and tree

The scents of flowers die

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, A, B

• A, B, B, A

The water runs over tried, beaten feet

With the many friends still to meet

Running with heart beats steady

While everything around is a melody

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, A, B

• A, B, B, A

The water runs over tried, beaten feet

With the many friends still to meet

Running with heart beats steady

While everything around is a melody

• A, A, B, B

• A, B, B, A

• A, B, A, B
