The Secret Place

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a little girl named Georgina. She was very nice, had pretty brown hair and loved to wear her blue dress that matches her eyes.

One day, her mother came to her and say, “Georgina, today we are going on a trip.”

“Where to mommy?” Asked Georgina.

“Some place very special.” Her mother answered.

“Where is that?” Asked Georgina.

“A wonderful place you have never been before, but it is hard to explain. You will have to trust me.” Her mother said.

So they got dressed and ready, packed a nice lunch, and left their home and took the road that led towards the mountains.

After a while they came to a small trail that led off the road. Sharp rocks and boulders lined the trail. Mother started down the train, but Georgina was unsure and a little scared.

“Are you sure we are supposed to go down there mommy?” Asked Georgina.

Mother smiled. “Yes dear. This is the way. Trust me.”

“Yes mommy.” Said Georgina. And they took the trail together.

The trail was full of rocks and very steep, but they went up together. At the top of the trail was a big flat rock. From the rock they could see the whole valley below. It was so pretty and wonderful. Mother showed Georgina their town and their house. They seemed so small from up here, like little toys she could play with, but they were also so pretty.

“Thank you mommy.” Said Georgina.

“You are welcome.” Said her mother, “But there is still more to see. It is not even noon yet.”

Mother took Georgina to another trail and they started down it. After a while they came to a rope bridge that went over a deep gorge. Far below Georgina could hear the sound of a river, but she it was so far down, that she could not see it. Georgina was unsure and a kind of scared.

Mother started across the bridge.

“Are you sure we are supposed to go down there mommy?” Asked Georgina.

Mother smiled. “Yes dear. This is the way. Trust me.”

“Yes mommy.” Said Georgina. And held onto her mother as they crossed the bridge.

From the bridge Georgina could hear the sound of rushing water and thousands of birds singing. It was very pretty. When they got to the other side, Georgina was no longer scared of the long rope bridge.

The trial on the other side went for a little bit further and then entered a deep dark forest. Georgina was unsure and a little scared.

“Are you sure we are supposed to go down there mommy?” Asked Georgina.

Mother smiled. “Yes dear. This is the way. Trust me.”

“Yes mommy.” Said Georgina. And they took the trail together.

As they wonder in the forest, mother took a barely used side trail and showed Georgina a wonderful patch of berries. Together they picked and ate berries, climbed treed and laughed and were happy.

“Thank you mommy.” Said Georgina.

“You are welcome.” Said her mother, “But there is still more to see. It is almost noon and we are not there yet.”

So they walked down the trail together for a bit longer and the forest opened up into a beautiful valley filled with flowers and butterflies. Georgina was amazed that such a beautiful place could ever exist.

“Is this the place mommy?” Asked Georgina.

Mother smiled at Georgina. “We are almost there. Just a little further. Trust me.”

“Yes mommy.” Replied Georgina.

Mother took Georgina into the field of flowers. Near the center was a big flat rock and a beautiful stream. Flowers were all around them. Georgina thought she was in heaven. Mother took out their lunch and they ate lunch together. Mother then showed Georgina how to make crowns out of flowers and the both wore them as they played in the stream. They then went and picked flowers until their baskets were full.

Finally mother told Georgina it was time to go.

“Are you sure?” Asked Georgina?

“Yes dear. Trust me.” Said mother with a smile.

So they gathered up their baskets full of flowers and headed for the woods. This time, instead of being scary, the woods were a wonderful place filled with mossy trees to climb and yummy berries to eat.

Then they came to the rope bridge. And instead of being afraid, Georgina listed all the way across to the sound of the beautiful birds below.

Finally they came to the big flat rock. The sun was setting in the distance and other people were up here now. They all watched together as the sun turned the sky golden red as it set behind the hills on the other side of the valley. It was so beautiful. Besides the field of flowers, Georgina had never seen anything so beautiful before.

Then they headed down the trail, this time not alone but with other people who had come to see the sunset as well.

Finally they were back to the road and walked home. As they walked mother told Georgina how her mother used to take her there so that they could spend special time together. Georgina was happy that she had spent special time with her mother as well.

That night Georgina dreamt of their special day together and each place she heard her mother say trust me, and knew that she could trust her with anything, no matter what.

Jennifer’s Puppy

Little Jenny
Went to the barn
To fetch herself a pail

When who should she meet
On four little feet
But a puppy with a waggly tail

He bounced around
With his cute puppy barks
Running all around

Jennifer laughed
At the joy she had found
Her new best friend with love unbound

They played awhile
In the barn
Tug a war and fetch

He made her smile
With his slobbery kisses
And then he started to stretch

And curled up in her lap
To take a nap
Cozy warm next to her

She gave him a kiss
And then a hug
And petted his nice warm fur

She took him home
Sleeping sound
To show her mom
The new friend she found

And everyone was happy
At the new found friend
And they lived happy together
Until the end

The Little Princess and the Puppy

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom lived a little princess. She had long dark pretty hair and a smile that was happy like sunshine.

One day she put on her pretty pink dress and her little crown and went for a walk in the tall grass that grew behind the castle.

As she wondered around she came upon a beautiful pond, filled with pretty purple water lilies. A silly frog croaked his songs and jumped from lily pad to lily pad until he missed and fell into the water. The little princess laughed at the silly frog and wondered some more in the tall grass.

After a while she came to a tall dark forest. It was a bit dark, so she didn’t go in, but picked up a nice stick she saw laying on the ground.

She wandered some more in the tall grass until she came upon some ands carrying food to their house. They made a long line through the grass and carried leaves and berries into their hole in the ground. They must be getting ready for a great feast she thought.

The little princess noticed a patch of flowers in the grass and ran over to pick some. They were so pretty. Not too far away she saw some bunnies eating the clover flowers. They seemed so happy hopping around and eating the pretty white and purple flowers.

She went to put the flowers into her crown, as she liked to do, and noticed that it was missing. She was so upset! It must have fallen off somewhere in the tall grass!

She grabbed her flowers and ran off to where the ants where and looked around. The ants were still taking berries and leaves into their house in the ground. The crown couldn’t fit inside so she knew they didn’t take it.

She ran over to the pond where the silly frog was and looked around. The frog was now swimming in the water, but wasn’t wearing the crown, so she was sure he didn’t take it.

Off in the distance she heard a little puppy woofing happily.

She ran over and found the puppy playing with her crown! It sparkled on the ground and the little puppy would run up to it, bark and run to the other side. She laughed and the puppy looked up at her and wagged his tail happily.

The little princess smiled. “Would you like a nice stick to play with little puppy?” she asked

The puppy wagged his tail and barked in reply.

The little princess threw the stick and the little puppy chased after it

The little princess picked up her crown and put it on her head where it belonged.

Then the little puppy returned, setting the stick down and barking, asking for her to throw the stick again.

The little princess and the puppy played together till it started getting dark. She has so much fun with her new friend, the little puppy, playing fetch, chase and all kinds of other things. But she knew it was time to go home and have dinner.

She said good bye to the little puppy and started off to the castle. Behind her, the little puppy followed, the stick in his mouth. She laughed and ran. The little puppy ran after her.

When she got to the castle, the little puppy was still with her. She showed him to her parents and they said she could keep him. She was so happy! That night the princess and the puppy had dinner together at the table. Well, the puppy was on the floor but she shared her dinner with him.

Many years have passed since the princess found her puppy and she is all grown up and the puppy is too, but they are still together, exploring the tall grass and other places together and are still best of friends.

Friends By The Bog

Happy little Orthrus
Liked to swim in the bog
And eat cheese Doritos
And play with Mr. Frog

One day out
They were having lots of fun
When they came upon a spider
And the web she had spun

And all trap within
Were little buggy ends
That Mrs. Spider shared with Frog
And they soon became friends

And soon they were play
Chess while drinking tea
And three lived together
Just as happy as could be.

Knightly

A knightly procession
Of 4 brave ones
Armor gleaming
Under the warming sun

Pots for helmets
And lids for shields
They make their way
Through forests and fields

Till late in the evening
When dinner calls
The for friends depart
To their mothers halls

Eat their meals
Then off to bed
And dream of going
Where dragons tread
