CHILDREN LOVE POEMS
I have always loved poems. And I love rhymes. I loved reading to my children when they were young and especially loved reading them books in rhyme. That's why Bill Peet was my favorite children's stories author. Have you ever read any of them? Wonderfully illustrated and fun to read.
I also encouraged the children to learn poems. I would pin Scripture verses and positive little poems up around the house, and even in the toilet--a great place for them to read and memorize! Here's one the children loved and learned when they were young and they can all still quote it today. You may like to share it with your children, too.
TWO LITTLE MEN
Two little men stood looking at a hill,
One was named, Can't and one was named, Will.
Can't said, "I never in the world can climb this hill."
So there he is at the bottom of it still!
Will said, "I'll get to the top because I will."
Two little men are living by the hill,
At the bottom is Can't, at the top is Will!
I'll share another one with you for your children, tomorrow.
Love from Nancy
