Nephew Poem

in Family Poems for Kids

Whenever I see your sweetest smile,
My pain and sorrow are gone for a while.

Whenever I get mad because you're so unruly,

Whenever I see your sweetest smile,
My pain and sorrow are gone for a while.

Whenever I get mad because you're so unruly,
You'll just hug me and say, "I'm sorry!"

You've got a lot of questions.
You have some wonderful visions!

My little nephew, let your imagination soar;
Let your spirit travel afar...

Spread your wings of generosity;
Open your heart to the wretched and needy!

And you'll discover the rainbow
Of hope that's within you...

The Centipede

in Funny Poems for Kids

I'm glad I'm not a real boy
With proper feet like you.
Imagine if I had to put
A foot in every shoe.

I'm glad I'm not a real boy
With proper feet like you.
Imagine if I had to put
A foot in every shoe.
For when I'd got each foot inside
And every lace tied tight,
I'd have to take them off again
To go to bed at night.

That's what mom told me.
Just trust in the Lord
And get your surgery.

And you can't be replaced.
You're always in my heart,
And that can't be erased.

Granddad's Got Hair
- By Graham Craven
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2018 with permission of the Author.
I started to lose my hair when I was just nineteen, which made me feel like I was losing my locks, my looks, and my manhood. Having children though made me realize that it didn't matter if I was bald, had spots, or anything worse. Love is unconditional, and my children loved me for who I was and not what I looked like. As a granddad now well into my 50s, I can confirm that it's what's on the inside that matters, and I'm perfectly happy not having to comb my hair.

Growing Old And Going Bald

in Funny Poems for Kids

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.
His chest has got more hair than a coarse front door mat.
His back has got more hair than next door's tom cat.

Granddad's head is silky and smooth,
Not a solitary bristle.
Smooth as a baby's bum,
Clean as a whistle.
Some say a snooker ball has got more hair,
But his beard hides a smile that says, "I just don't care."

Yellow is my bestie's favorite color. I don't know why she likes yellow. I like purple, and yellow and purple are opposites.

Poem Describing The Color Yellow

Yellow is beautiful

It feels like the warmth of the sky.

Yellow is beautiful
And kind.
Yellow tastes sour down my throat.
It feels like the warmth of the sky.
Yellow sounds like kids laughing down the street.
It feels like warmth upon my head.
Yellow looks like a big circle in the sky.
It makes me smile and play.
Yellow is my favorite color.

Kids Having Fun In The Snow

in Poems for Kids

The world is spinning
round and round
while snowflakes are falling,
bound for the ground.

The world is spinning
round and round
while snowflakes are falling,
bound for the ground.

Children wait for their parents
and show they can obey.
There's the great HOORAY
as they sleigh.

They come back inside,
their faces so red.
Quickly they've spied
the hot chocolate ahead.

Silly Poem About A Child's Imagination

What if there were purple spots on a pig?

What if there were purple spots on a pig?

What if water was as sticky as glue?

Oh, it would be a big mess that day,
So I guess, let it be the same way!

Short Poem Of Love From Young Daughter To Mother

True treasure is not found on ships, in chests of silver and gold.
True treasure is not ruby rings or jewels from long ago.

Good Dreams
- By Olga Matushkina
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
Hi all. I am a children's book illustrator from Russia. I happen to have my first book published in the US. I also write short children's stories and poems, but I don't really show them to people because I don't know if they are any good. The poem "Good Dreams" is actually a part of my own picture book about a tiny bear called Snowflake who wants to know where the good dreams live. This picture book is not published. I wrote it mostly for myself just because I like it.

in Poems for Kids

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

They dance, they jump,
They play the drum,
But when someone in a house wakes up -
The good dreams end up their fun.

They say, "Good day!" and go away.
But when we sleep, they start again,
Tell their stories, play, and march
And sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

This is a poem about my three little guinea pigs whom I love and care for every day.

I have three piggies who live in the shed.
They sleep in their food bowl and eat in their bed.
They drink lots of water, which makes them go wee.
This usually happens while they are sitting on my knee!

Light At Night

I wrote this poem because I always loved watching the bright moon shining at night.

Poem About Being Guided By The Moonlight

in Nature Poems for Kids

I walk around the streets at night.
I look around and see the light,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I walk around the streets at night.
I look around and see the light,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I walk under the moonlight
That shines out of the light.
I was surrounded by the mysterious dark
And couldn't hear the dogs bark.

I follow the moonlight
That shines bright,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

Sunbeam

I'm a schoolteacher who enjoys writing children's poetry in my spare time. I especially love writing rhyming poems. I like coming up with a concept and then challenging myself to make it work with rhyme and timing. My work is often about finding the joy in the simple things in life.

in Nature Poems for Kids

I'm just a little sunbeam.
Along the floor I crawl.
I climb up walls.
I creep down halls.

I'm just a little sunbeam.
Along the floor I crawl.
I climb up walls.
I creep down halls.
I offer warmth
to one and all.
Reborn every morning,
I ignite the morning bird's call.
I die each and every night
with the coming of nightfall.

Little Sisters

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.
And every time she kicks my chair,

My sister drives me up the wall.
She recons that she's really cool.
And every night when we have our tea,
she kicks me hard right in the knee.
But when I tell mum, my sister will say,
"I DIDN'T DO THAT; I WAS TRYING TO PLAY!"

A freezing cold breeze,
Just swept my face.
Excited I went,
To seize my "RAIN CASE"

I put on my coat,
And gumboots on my feet.
I put my hat and my gloves,
And hopped on out to the street.

The thunder was roaring,
The lightening so bright.
It sounded a bit creepy,
But the rain was actually light.

The black clouds were soaring,
High, high above.
But, on a rainy day...

Jumping in puddles is all that I love!!!
