milky way, there is
a massive planet earth. 

On that massive planet earth, there is a huge town.

Inside this huge town, 
there is a large house.

Inside this large house,
there is a big room.

Inside this big room,
we find you.

It was God

who created you.

He set you inside 

this gigantic universe,

with a special message,

GOD LOVES YOU!

Eggy loves to read.

Eggy burst into the kitchen, 
he darted past his mother.
"Where are you going, son?"
"I'm off to the library," Eggy replied. 
"Today starts the summer reading program."
Eggy is greeted at the door by the librarian.
"I'm looking for a special book,"

Eggy declared. The librarian

directed him to the picture book area.

Eggy searched through shelf after shelf

for a great book. Buddy came along

carrying a handful of books.

"Check out the fairy tale section." said Buddy. 
"They are all classics." 

"Great books indeed," Eggy said.

"But I'm looking for a new book to inspire me."

Eggy walked over to the next aisle and

scanned the whole section.

Cathy strolled by carrying 
a bag full of books.

"You should get a book about a cat that sings,"

Cathy suggested. "It's going to be a classic."

"Great book," Eggy agreed. 

"But I'm looking for something that is inspirational."

Eggy went over to the non-fiction area.

Wally stood nearby and greeted his friend.

"Get a book about sharks," Wally suggested.

"The photos are awesome."

"They are great," Eggy answered.
"But I need a book to enlighten me."
Eggy continued to search down every aisle.
Pete walked past carrying a stack of books.
"Try the poetry section," Pete suggested. 
" There is a great collection of poems to choose."
"Poetry is great," Eggy agreed.
"But I'm looking for a book to motivate me."
Eggy decided to check out the new released section.
He browsed through the whole area and his eyes lit up.
He caught a glimpse on a brand new book written by Henry. 
"There it is!" Eggy cried. "The book I want to read."
It's Henry's first published book, 'THE INNER LIGHT.'
Buddy, Cathy, Pete, Wally & Eggy recommend Henry's book.

Ballad of Volleyball Team

Volleyball is my favorite sport.

I love to play on the court.

To bump a ball and try to set,

To jump, spike and play the net.

Beyond any glory or fame,

I love to play this game.

BALLAD OF A VOLLEYBALL TEAM

They toss the ball high and hit it over the net,

When the ball comes back, they're ready to set.

They bump the ball and set for the spike,

They hit it over the net, with all there might.

Bump, set and spike, they know how to do,

All because of practice and have some fun too.

They call for each ball, that comes their way,

They dive for the ball, to keep it in play.

They're ready to set and slam it down.

They hit the ball and keep it in bounds.

They work as a team and play so good,

They play this game, the way you should.

They play so hard, it shows in the game,

They are the best, (your team) is their name.

Wild About The Bible

I'm wild about the bible,

I love to read God's book.

I find it very exciting,

every time I look.

It's more than stories,

it's lessons you can learn.

It was written for you,

in God's own word.

His word is powerful,

it can surely help you.

It contains many promises,

which are all true.

Mediate on his word,

keep it in your heart.

Read the bible daily,

it's a great way to start.

I'm wild about the bible,

I love what I read.

I go through the pages

and find what I need.

I search for a topic,
inside this holy book.
Then I pick out a verse,
and take a closer look.
I read about Jesus,
how he saved the lost,
It was an ultimate sacrifice,
that paid the cost.

I can rely on the bible,

and faithfully look ahead.

Because I live on the words

that God had said.

BE HAPPY !

It's not fun to be pouty,

I rather be silly.

It's not fun  to be grumpy,

it's better to be funny.

It's not fun to be crabby,

I like to be zany.

It's not fun to be grouchy,

I rather be happy.

It's not fun to be moody,

it's better to be cheery.

It's not fun to be angry,

I like to be friendly.

I don't want to miss,
A life full of bliss.
So I will try this,
Instead of being crabby,
I am gonna be happy.

Kids

They smile and cheer, 

they have so much fun.

They run and catch,

they play with everyone.

They wiggle and twist,

they're funny in all they do.

They skip and jump,

they ride their bikes too.

They see and touch, 

they look around.

They yell and scream,

they make so many sounds.

They giggle and laugh,

with old friends and new.

They fight and fall,

they get dirty too.

They have so much fun,

they are a joy to see.

They are the ones,

that bring out the kid in me.
