Fire Hydrant

Water ready for an emergency
When crisis hits water sprays out mighty
When a ragging fire hits
And duty calls to the fire hydrant
The fire hydrant will get the job done
Fire mighty and strong
But still no match
For the fire hydrant

Engineers

Engineers, putting structures together to create better tools
Engineers, making electronic devices up of programs
Engineers, making up programs with reactions coded deep inside
Engineers, our tool makers

Electricity

Electricity, powers our surroundings
Our lights, our chargers, our clocks
Electricity, powers our survival tools
Our water filtration machines, our ovens
Electricity the ruler of our lives

Playground

Kids freed from classes
Free to use their imaginations
New friends made
As well as enemies
Kids tall
Kids short
Come together and play fun games
Fun games
Where their

Pirates in their mighty ships sailing the 7 seas
Where their
Dragons stealing princesses and blowing mighty fire
Where their
Knights in bright shining armor off to save a princess
Kids playing
Kids imagining
On the playground

A Willow

A seed
Day, night
Rainfall, sunlight
The seed now sprouting
Not a seed anymore but a sapling
Moved to better nutrients
Roots begin to grow underground
The sapling begins to grow
20 years pass
Roots covering underground soil
Sapling not so small anymore
The sapling can no longer be called a sapling
But can be called a mighty Willow
Willow gained lots of new life and noises
The Willow by a rushing river
The Willow with a bunnies burrow deep within its roots
The Willow with a wood structure up within its branches, a tree house
Along and squeezed between the Willows branches song birds are singing
And the chicks in their nests chomping on the juiciest worms
The Willow Loved
