Winner!

Rain


The beautiful rain washes down from the sky

It stops at the tree and drips from up high

The sound is so lovely

The smell is so fresh

The taste is so sweet

When I touch it I’m wet

The rain pours like crashing waves

Here one minute and gone the next

The rain quenches the earth’s thirst

And brings a promise of a rainbow

Some say it rains when God cries

But I think it is a blessing from the sky

Just Dance

Dont be afraid
Join the parade

Of people sweating
'Cause you will be getting

Into the beat
So feel the heat

Run 'cause it's fun
Skip 'cause it's hip

Hop, just bop
Groove, just move

Prance, JUST DANCE!

School

When coming to school better early than late
and come before they shut the gate

When in class take out your book
then sit and read in a little nook

Class time! Pay attention!
Learn about Tom and his famous invention

Time to go home so hop in the car
or ride your bike if you dont live far

Time to sleep so hop in bed
so sleep well and clear your head!

The Meaning of Dreaming

Dreams are what you follow
When you are hopelessly lost,
Dreams are things you save
No matter what the cost,
Dreams are what you believe in
When you feel dejected,
Dreams are what you enter
When you are rejected
So follow your dreams follow them true,
And soon the answers will come to you!
