Nothing Fits

by Rena Morman

It is a cold day.  Sammy wants to go out and play with Lilly.  So Sammy puts on his things.  Sammy looks silly!  Nothing fits him.  Everything is too small.  Sammy grew.

Dad has new things for Sammy.  He must try them on.  Everything fits!  Sammy will not have to stay inside.  Sammy will keep growing.  He will become a big boy.  But he will always be Sammy.

 
An Egg Is An Egg

Nicki Weiss

 When is an egg not an egg?

An egg is an egg until it hatches.  And then it is a chick.

A branch is a branch until it breaks.  And then it is a stick.

Nothing stays the same.  Everything can change.

A seed is a seed until it is sown.  And then it is a flower.

 A block is a block until there are many.  And then they become a tower.

Nothing stays the same.  Everything can change.

Water is water until it is brewed.  And then it becomes tea.

You are you until I come.  And then you become “we.”

Nothing stays the same.  Everything can change.

The yard is green until it snows.  And then it becomes white. 

Day is day until sunset.  And then it is the night.

Nothing stays the some.  Everything can change.

The baby was a baby until he grew.  And now he is a boy.

But you can always be a baby.  You will always be my baby…

Some things stay the same.  Some things never change.
