Lord, I Pray Each And Every Day
in Poems by Kids
Lord, I pray
Each and every day
For those who suffer from
Grief and pain.
Those who don't know you
And do wrong things
Those who lie, steal, and kill.
Lord, I pray each and every day.
Lord, I pray
Each and every day
For the homeless and starving,
Those whose parents abuse them
And their skin looks like a carving.
Lord, I pray
Each and every day.
Help all these people.
Cleanse their hearts and
Let them start over with a new start.

Snowball
in Famous Children Poems
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.

Let's Preserve Our Nature
in Nature Poems for Kids
The sun is shining,
The sky is blue,
The birds are flying,
And the breeze is so cool.
Mother Nature is trying her best
To give nothing but beautifulness,
But what do we do?
Make her a mess.
Let's make her the best
By polluting less and less,
And preserve her green dress
For our kids and the rest.

Fishing With My Grandpa
in Family Poems for Kids
My Grandpa and I do a lot of things together,
But fishing with my Grandpa is the best ever.
I love going to the lake when the sky is all blue.
I love riding in my Grandpa's boat, too.
The next trip to the lake I don't want to miss.
Just being with my Grandpa is better than catching fish.

A.A. Milne was an English author who lived from 1882-1956. He is best known for his stories about Winnie the Pooh, which were inspired by his son, Christopher Robin Milne's, stuffed animals. In this poem, a young child recounts the previous five years and how life was just beginning. But six, oh, six is the best year.
Now We Are Six
in Famous Children Poems
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

My poem was written to describe the joy of my best friend. He, of course, is an animal, but sometimes that's best. Animals can't talk, but they listen. I have the greatest joy when I am with him.
My Best Friend
in Animal Poems for Kids
Black and white
Thick and furry
Fast as the wind
Always in a hurry
Couple of spots
Rub my ears
Always comes when his name he hears
Loves his ball; it's his favorite thing
What's most fun for him? Everything!
Great big tongue that licks my face
Has a crate, his very own space
Big brown eyes like moon pies
He's my friend till the very end!

The wind is a unique phenomenon. While we are unable to see it, we can see the result of it blowing. "Wind on the Hill" shows a child grappling with this understanding. A.A. Milne wrote books and poems for children. His most famous creation was Winnie the Pooh.
Wind On The Hill
in Famous Children Poems
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

"Halfway Down" is a poem written from a child's perspective about the special spot in the middle of the staircase. What makes it special is it's not at the top or bottom, it's not upstairs or downstairs. It's in a place all its own. Children have a wonderfully unique way of looking at the world.
Halfway Down
in Famous Children Poems
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.
Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!

There are many pretty sights in this world, some of which are manmade, but nothing compares to the beauty found in nature. The beauty of clouds and rainbows cannot be replicated by human hands.
The Rainbow
in Famous Children Poems
Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

Children are our future. If we can encourage kids to spend time with nature, they can find a true friend in it and thus create a bond. So, naturally they will be aware of the environment and will not do anything to cause harm.
A Lifelong Companion
in Nature Poems for Kids
Have you ever chased the setting sun,
just to have fun?
Have you ever gazed at moon and stared,
simply to admire?
Have you ever looked at canopy of leaves,
imagining them as sieves?
Have you ever noticed how the rain
glistens the golden grain?
Have you ever sung to a flower,
forgetting the passing hour?
Have you ever searched nature
for a hidden treasure?
Let's make environment a lifelong companion -
Like a true friend, it will never abandon.

Winter
in Nature Poems for Kids
If winter were a person, she would be a girl with frosty hair.
Winter would wear snow pants, snow boots, gloves, a hat, and scarf.
Winter would smell like hot chocolate and peanut butter and Hershey Kiss cookies baking in the oven.
Winter would spend the day eating cookies and drinking hot cocoa by a lake.
Winter would spend the night by sitting in the snow waiting for morning so children could come out to play.

Abbie Farwell Brown was an American author who lived from 1871-1927. While attending the Girls' Latin School, she created a school newspaper, The Jabberwock, which is still being published today. In the poem "Friends," Brown shares that even things in nature can be children's friends, giving them comfort whenever they fear.
Friends
in Famous Children Poems
How good to lie a little while
And look up through the tree!
The Sky is like a kind big smile
Bent sweetly over me.
The Sunshine flickers through the lace
Of leaves above my head,
And kisses me upon the face
Like Mother, before bed.
The Wind comes stealing o'er the grass
To whisper pretty things;
And though I cannot see him pass,
I feel his careful wings.
So many gentle Friends are near
Whom one can scarcely see,
A child should never feel a fear,
Wherever he may be.

Swinging provides an entirely new perspective of the world around you. It is a freeing activity that makes you feel like you're flying. You feel as though you're on top of the world, and it's a staple of the childhood experience.
The Swing
in Famous Children Poems
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

Most children have an early bedtime. In the winter it's not a problem for them to fall asleep, because it gets dark early, but summer makes it difficult. With more daylight, children long to be able to play until the sun dips far below the horizon.
Bed In Summer
in Famous Children Poems
In Winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle light.
In Summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

This is a color poem that captures the beauty in the natural world. Color is all around us, from a rose and a poppy to the clouds and sky.
What Is Pink?
in Famous Children Poems
What is pink? A rose is pink
By the fountain's brink.
What is red? A poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? The sky is blue
Where the clouds float through.
What is white? A swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? Pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? The grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? Clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!

A poem about children enjoying a snowy day.
Snowy Sunday
in Poems for Kids
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.

Little Boy Blue
in Funny Poems for Kids
Please cover your nose.
You sneezed on Miss Muffet
and ruined her clothes.
You sprayed Mother Hubbard
and now she is sick.
You put out the fire
on Jack's candle stick.
Your sneeze is the reason
why Humpty fell down.
You drenched Yankee Doodle
when he came to town.
The blind mice are angry!
The sheep are upset!
From now on, use a tissue
so no one gets wet!

This is a poem about peace and what it is like to have peace! In 5th grade, my teacher, Ms. Gray, was teaching a lesson on different types of poems. One of our tasks was to write our own poem. I wrote this poem in a way I would think of it, although life would be great just sitting on a porch relaxing.
Peace And Quiet
in Nature Poems for Kids
Peace is...
When you are outside on a nice warm day
With a cold glass of yellow lemonade.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Feeling the warm sun on my back,
Rubbing my hands through the wet green grass,
Listening to the birds singing a distance away.
Quiet...
Now that's PEACE!
