Country Windows

 Country windows not the least ordinary

Unlike city windows hold no boundary

A meadow before me in its splendor

unlike city windows holds no censor

Cows grazing at their easy pace

Green grass growing in its place

No haunted eyes, no life but a glimmer

Seeking an answer looking in hunger

No more cement buildings of cold gray

No more people struggling astray

Peacefulness is outside my window

Life in my country does bestow

A joy freeing ones mind of sorrow

Winter Babies

Copyright, 2002 , Pamela Lampson Staples

 

Snowflakes fall, snowflakes glisten,

in the barn ... shhh... just listen

there's a new little sound,

come gather around ..

Mama had her babies tonight!

 

There's a buck,

he's just dandy,

and a doe,

sweet as candy,

They're baaahing at mom,

a soft goatie song,

Mama had her babies tonight!

In the barn, it's warm and snug and toasty,

I'd love to stay and watch the whole night through.

But Mama needs some rest, that special goaty!

And babies look a little tired, too.

Later on, we can hold them,

Little angels,

We'll just spoil them!

We'll love them all day,

in our special way,

Mama had her babies tonight. : )

Little Angel Goaty

One sweet little goaty

on a cold night was born

shivering and shaking

feeling quite forlorn.

She was brought to an earthly angel

who took her under her wing

wrapped her up nice and warm

and a sweet song began to sing.

She loved this little goaty

and wanted her to stay.

But it wasn't in the plan

she would have to go away.

One sweet little goaty

closed her eyes and said good-bye.

Little angel wings

carried her up to the sky

 

Two sweet little goaties

born on this day.

Soon they will be running round

ready to romp and play.

Sweet little angel goaty

flew down to earth again.

For she's their guardian angel

and she'll watch over them.
