| Fred Claus’ Snowball of Fun |
I would like to ride
on Santa’s sleigh
and see a ray
of sun.
That would be fun.
A bad snowball fight
makes anger danger
and hurts feelings.
Like an orange peeling,
we get from the outside
to the inside.
Where beneath the anger,
we really love each other.

| Friends are Friends |
|
Running slowly and speedily
To happiness
Towards a garden of
Flowers, roses, dandelions, trees, grass…
Iron is strong
We are strong
Walking makes us strong
And so does milk!
Every day, writing makes us strong
Standing and walking
And so does milk!
Not always can we walk or stand to be strong
But we can…
Do math! Exercise our brain
Breathe in and out!
Make friends
And see them once in a while
Be proud of myself
Never give up
Have faith
God is good all the time
Keep my head up
Be strong
Friends are friends

| Be Yourself |
|
It is hard to be yourself
When the world
Will not let you be yourself
Some lawyers are seen as liars
Some liars are seen as lawyers
Some cops are seen as dirty
If you are dirty they think you are a cop
Some cheerleaders are seen as snobby
Some snobbies are seen as cheerleaders
Some driftwood is out of place
If you are out of place you are seen as driftwood
Remember why you started
The reason you began
(lawyer... cop... cheerleader... )
Who are you?
Communicate with others
Be one hundred percent
Change what you can
To be that person again
It is hard to be yourself
When the world
Will not let you be

I sing songs
I can read
All day long
When the sun comes out
It blocks the rain away
TV and playing video games
Makes me happy
Sleep makes me happy too
I sing songs
I can read
All day long

It is "Z" "Y"
I like pie
The girl cried
When she said goodbye
Moving from house to house
Is sad like a mouse that
Cannot eat food-dude
Bad mood so...
Let's have a feast and boost
My mood-Zucchini in a
Panini! Manini! Dupini! Chewmini! Yewchimi!
...I will sleep so I won't go crazy

| Stand Together and Forgive |
|
Brotherhood is working together
I want adventure forever
There is no comedy in my life
There is action
There is music
There is drama
There is fama
That is family mama
I get angry when told what to do
That makes two (of us)
I fight and feel better and
Then forgive with a sorry
I write a letter
And I will never
Fight you ever
But our legacy will stand forever

Remote Control Troll |

Remote control troll
Living under a bridge
It speaks hard
Being different is good because I want to be a leader
Or I would be a follower
If I only follow I will wallow
And feel hollow
If I lead I will feed my brain with knowledge
And could go to college - Written by the patients at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, March 30, 2007 | |

Baby, He's A Big Boy Now |
|
| |
Friendship between boy and ant
is like a jellybean plant
Spinach made him strong
which made him feel like he belonged
Sometimes I get scared of being squashed
I feel like someone is saying shhhhh... or hosh!
I'll go hang out with my friend
and that will be the end
