To sleep with out the light

I lay my head down, with out the light.

No monsters to fear as my parents are near.

To hold me tight, they know how to do it right!

“Just happy thoughts, that’s all I have.”

This is all I need. As not to wake up in the middle of my rest with out the fright.

Sleep little angels, I’ll see you when the day
gets bright.

Good bye for now, until tomorrow.

Let’s not wake up with any sorrow.

Poem of the Day-Your poem has been published at the following url:

I was born to dream, and have them to become true. They appear to me right out of the blue.

I wished for a car and then a house and that’s what I got. Then I dreamed of getting a wife and some kid’s and to become rich. I got my wife then the kid’s. I haven’t yet to become rich. But, I’m not stuck in an old ditch.

Next I dreamed of being an inventor. What a wish as I’m getting bigger. This wish has become true, and I’m getting bolder. Any one can do it. Give it thought and some time, Let it ferment like a good wine. At first it will smolder, and then you’ll make it. So start off small then goes as big as you want!!! Don’t feel blue; it’s all up to you. Good luck from the dreamer. By Bill Sawyers

As I read to you, I’m shaken like a leaf on a tree.

How can this be happening to me? It hasn’t before

It didn’t start when I walked thru the door.

It must be stage fright. It’s something I’ll just have to ignore.

It must be nerves doing this to me.

Ask, anybody? It’s easy to see.

I’m still shaken like a leaf in the breeze.

Oh, why, oh why, did it pick me?

Will it happen again? We’ll wait and see.

From the shaker- By Bill Sawyers Did you like it?

Dolphins here, dolphins there, dolphins everywhere.

You see them at Marine World and you see them in the ocean blue.

It’s quite a sight to see them close. This much is true.

Out in the open waters of the sea, they swim right next to the boat right by you to give you a stare. It’s such a great sight.

This much I can share. With their little hole on top, blowing up water and air.

It’s a neat sound as I can say. I’m wondering where they’re going? At such a fast pace
throughout the day.

I need to go back soon to this place called Bodega Bay.

It’s one of the places I’ve been fishing out on the ocean blue.

A Mouse Called Tim

There was a mouse called Tim.
Who didn’t know how to swim.

Along came his mother, who was slim.
She gave a holler and tossed Tim into the water,
and Tim sank to his knees.

She said, “Don’t bother to get out of the water,
until you learn to swim.”

Tim called out with a shout, How do I do that?
I’m too fat. I can’t even out run a cat.

The mother said, “I love to tease so, won’t you please Swim to me and don’t except defeat.”

So Tim swam to his mother, and said “oh, boy!
Isn’t this neat?”

She said, “Now you get a treat.”

Ouey gooey sticky sweat
it must be hot out,
this I’ll bet.

It’s our way of staying cool
until we get to the nearest pool.

Wear deodorant don’t be a fool
or you’ll smell like just like a ghoul.

or we may stink not like a rose.

Oop’s it’s time to bring out the hose.
Ooey gooey sticky sweat.

Where’s the shade? There is none this I’ll bet. Where was I?

The End of School

The end of school is almost near. But don’t you fear summer is here.

It’s time to play and be on your way.

The school year has been fun, and it’s time to relax under the sun.

The month’s JUNE, JULY, AUGUST are long and most
of the staff will be gone.

SUMMER SCHOOL is on it’s way, and the days will be longer for some.

So pull out the tents, Cots,and the barbaque.

Every person goes by a different tune.

So when you come back to school, your class’s will look like new. From a custodian to you. Go Jets!!!

By Bill Sawyers

Friends are people, Who you can trust.

You can usually feel it right from the gut!!!

They can be close or far away.

The memories will remain the same.

We share our moods to get rid of of the blues. Most of the time happy, and some times sad. But most of the time where Usually Glad.

Friends are special indeed, and it’s some thing we all need.

To care and share is pretty neat.

Although in the beginning it maybe hard to speak.

To move a lot is often hard. As you have to go right back from the start.

If they act bad, then just stay away!

You’ll find a better one for a rainy day.From a friend to the end.

Some bugs are cool… bee’s pollinate flowers to grow our fruits, they help our gardens bloom.

Some will kiss us and others will bite.

You see some in the day and others at night.

To see them in the day

Can be such a delight.

To see them in the dark

Can be a big fright.

Some are small and some are big.

Some climb trees and others dig.

So when you see a bug.

Don’t you squash it.

Don’t you DARE!!!

Oops, I didn’t mean too. A bugs life, just isn’t fair.

By Bill Sawyers

There are no boundaries of life in this age.

Just open your mind of empty space. Learn the

knowledge of wisdom thru SCHOOL & BOOKS. As you

just can’t depend on your looks.Use your best

judgement to follow thru.The future is now upon

us, and it’s all up to you. If you reach a dead

end! Then start over again. A day is a day, a

year a year. Time is one thing you should’nt

fear. You will succeed one of these days. What

ever your goal your trying to reach. I’ll wish

you luck as this is the way. Just try to make

the best of your day. By Bill Sawyers

Sadness comes and sadness go’s. It happens to the best of us, as you all know!

It’s feelings we have-Deep down inside.

It maybe the thought of fear of someone near

passed away. Who’s to say?

The sign’s are obvious, as we can see.

It’s usaully tears running from the eye’s, Down the cheek.

Sadness is a fact of life.

It helps sometimes to make things right.

Don’t fight it, just ride it and it may go away Until another day.

It may happen to you. But, who know’s, It may not show.

the end By Bill Sawyers

With a smile you will grin, Winning others to the end!

Happiness is good for all. Enjoy your self and feel glad all day.

And hapyyness shall not go away. By Bill Sawyers

The moon is a beautiful sight indeed,
From the suns ray’s reflecting the light.
The moons haze, from the grey & whites.
It can be seen from over a million miles away. IT affects the ocean waves.
So they say. Can the full moon really affect our moods?
How can we tell if this is true?
Do we look at the full moon, when we feel blue?
It’ll be up to you, If you shall choose too!!!
The U.S.A has conquer space.
But, Will we live on the moon soon?
I don’t know! I think it will be a race across the states. By Bill Sawyers

The Ocean, A magical place indeed. The sun’s so bright,

The birds at play. The soft scent of salt misting through the air, From the big powerful thunderous waves.

I love to lay on the white sands of bliss. This place was blessed with a kiss from the heaven’s above. It’ll put your mind at ease, So help keep the beach’s clean.

Mother nature is tough. But,This just isn’t enough. Help do your part & keep our beaches
clean. As during the summer this can be seen. By Bill Sawyers
