Family Lessons
My mother taught me to swim
to jump, to swirl to dance in the sea
My father taught me to fly
To soar to dive to glide through the Sky
My big brother taught me how to roar
The loudest fiercest roar in the woods
I taught my little sister how to hop
Faster and faster until we dropped
Family Colours
When my son wears RED he is daring adventurous.
When my daughter wears green she is bright and beautiful
When my niece wears black she is forthright and upfront.
When my nephew wears blue he asks every question under the son.
When my mother wears yellow she is comforted and loving
When my brother wears white he is outgoing and hugable
When my father wears brown he is sturdy and dependable
When my sister wears my favourite colour purple she is the most beautiful creature ever
