The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

An Abundance

An abundance of words
An abundance of sounds
An abundance of rhymes
An abundance of lines.

An abundance of thoughts
An abundance of feelings
An abundance of songs
An abundance of kinds.

An abundance of giggles
An abundance of sighs
An abundance of poets
An abundance of minds.

An abundance of shocks
An abundance of glee
An abundance of love
Treasures, pleasures for free.
