original poems, short stories, and more by Revka Stearns
Fun Christian songs for toddlers are always in demand for use in Sunday School, VBS, and Children’s Church. Here’s an original song which could also be used as a poem.
1. God made the mountains tall, and God made the trees.
God made the leaves that fall, and He made the seas.
All creatures large and small – Elephants and bees -
Aren’t you glad that God made them all?

I hate fleas, but fleas love me.
They gnaw and they chew like I’m some kind of treat.
It seems they think I’m most delicious to eat.
I hate fleas, but fleas love me!
one verse for each member of my beloved family
Squeals and giggles
Dimples and coos -
Baby, darling, I love you.
Legos and planes
Helicopters, too, -
Sweet golden boy, I love you.
I built a fortress, tall and strong -
Built it deep and built it long.
Built it so that I’d be free
From threats against my deepest me.
Bit by bit the walls grew high
Until they nearly reached the sky,
Sheltering, protecting, shutting out
Tears within and fears without.
In time of peace and time of war
He pledged us his very best.
Our nation’s colors he proudly bore
On his shoulder or his chest.
Silence
But not peaceful
Resentful
Angry
Unspoken thoughts
Words not yelled
Or uttered at all
Loneliness
Nowhere to turn
No one who cares
Pressure
Building and mounting
About to explode
Questioning
My own existence
To continue or not

Robin gave us two possible theme choices: the great outdoors or emotions. My diamante was inspired by end-of-pregnancy/labor/post-birth feelings. (Considering this was written just 17 days before the birth of my first son, I was writing from my personal experience.)
