Today my first grader recited this poem at his classroom Poetry Reading:
Bubble, a beautiful
Sphere of soap
Floating higher and higher
Then it snaps
Glistens
And disappears
I loved it. Even got a little teary-eyed. Not to be outdone, his soon to be kindergartner brother composed this on the way home, as we walked through the rain:
A shimmering tear from the sky-
Hits the ground, and it disappears.
I wanted to scoop the boys up and tuck them into my heart to keep them just like this forever.
