Strawberry Rain

Strawberry fields pouring down from the sky
The vibrant red fruit is falling into the grass
Falling forever and ever
Down to this small rock we call Earth
Why are they falling? How is it happening?
No one knows anything
Only that it is a strawberry rain

Oh that strawberry rain
What a fun treat for us
We get a delicious snack
Without so much as a fuss
I love the strawberry rain
That greets us from above
You know it’s time when you hear a plop

Small fruit to large
Round to square
There are constantly strawberries everywhere
They never stop falling
It is a strawberry rain all year long
With no end in sight
Ugh will it ever stop?

Remember the days of the strawberry rain?
Such good times when we had that treat
It was so lovely oh so lovely
Don’t you miss that strawberry rain?
I hope it comes back
Even just for the day

  • Drowning

    I’m drowning 
    Sinking in my own emotions
    Waves crash over me again and again
    The waves of sadness, guilt, fear
    It’s too much
    I can’t breathe
    I’m supposed to be swimming 
    But what if it’s easier to sink
  • The Dancer

    A spin and a twirl
    A kick to a split
    The dancer knows eyes are on her
    Watching her every move
    Scared to look away as if they might miss it
    Miss the ease with which her body moves

    She is strong and capable
  • Young Girl, My Hero

    Young girl, you are beautiful
    Your smile beams light and joy
    Your laugh is infectious
    If only more people were like you

    You are a princess
    Wearing gowns and tiaras
    Slipping on your little silver shoe that fits like a glove
