Joining Theater

I heard rumors of a great ship,

full of great people.

Did they have room for me?

I swam by the ship

and to my surprise,

I was welcomed aboard,

beckoned,

appreciated,

cared for.

I looked down at the little ship,

in which I once drifted.

I knew I would never leave

the great big ship

with the even-greater-than-I-expected people

because they made room for me

in the great ship of theater.

    How their caring eyes show they care

    Oh, how loved I feel

    My favorite people surround me

    Everyone chose to love me

  • Every Sense but Sight

    The clinking chain of the swing

    The sweet smell of summer

    Thundering sounds of someone throwing trash away in the distance

    The scratching sounds of my pencil

    The warm sun on my skin

    Airplane flying overhead
