Turtle me~ into
the forest,
squirrel me
~into a tree,
snake me into the hiding creek,
Fish me into the sea.
Walrus me inside
the tundra~
lion me
mountain-wise,
bear me into the old dark cave
Toucan me to the skies.
Animal this sight
any day,
flower me
to my nose~
sprinkle in springtime’s shower baths
nectar each tasty rose.
This is how our God woos
his babes~
with sights
and smells, and touch
but only through His animals
He loves me twice as much!

wonderful
Very adorable write, I can just see a you mom and/or dad curl up with their little one as they read this to them. -
What a novel way to see our relationship with animals. I love the play on words and how you use nouns (all the animals) as verbs to convey your thoughts on GOD's love for his creation. Love it!

Something new to teach the kids
This just flows, love it.. -
Wow I really enjoyed this one. You've definitely got a gift when it comes to writing for children. Don't take offense to this, but it really reminded me Barney because I use to watch that show a lot as a child. So this was like a trip back down memory lane with all of the wonderful children songs I used to know by heart. Keep up the wonderful work. Children will love you <3 -TV

God is blessing you!

This is such a wonderfully happy, clever poem! Not only for children but adults who love animals. Your words just naturally string together a beautiful message, and I enjoy reading your work, it is always a pleasure...*Di*

Well now Miss Cookie... I think you should put this to some wonderful illustrations and send it out where ya can to bring smiles ... and smiles... and smiles. It's really a cheerful and endearing write. I can hear the voice of someone reading this to a group of children and watching them ignite with the imaginings it brings.
So nicely done- per usual...
Have a wonderful night!

Hey Aunt Cookie,
This is so creative, amazing and fun what a neat piece, your images of reflections are written in a adventure for a young auidence, and a older such a lovely piece just wonderful....Your background with this is perfect also. Prairie really enjoyed this also, she said this is what she needed before bed Where did you get your background if you like to share with us? She said your pretty lucky because shes only had time to read one poem in ten days....LOL Anyhows Cookie this is really sweet and shows the precious things He gives us yet children sometimes can see pictures much more...
Love and hugs, Sherry
