I AM , I AM

I am, I am
I am, I am

I am, I am
I am, I am

I am, I am

I am a monkey
Climbing up a tree

I am a crane
Balancing at the edge
Of a pond

I am a snake
Slithering in the grass

I am a bat
Hovering in the trees
At twilight

I am a surfboarder
Traveling along a wave

I am a Tree
Tugging at my roots

I am the only one of me
I am the only one of me

I am the only one of me
MAMA WASP BUILT A NEST

Mama Wasp
Mama Wasp

Built a nest
Built a nest

Between
The two front doors

We will stay
Far away

Go out back
When we play

We’ll see what
Happens now


Mama Dove
Built a nest
For her babies to rest

Soon she laid
Her eggs

Parents sat
On the nest

Till the babies
Would hatch

Quiet while
They grow

Soon the babies
Would fly

Hear them coo
Hear them cry

We love
To watch them fly


Mama Deer
Built a nest
For her babies to rest

She hid them
In tall grass

She walked away
So they’d stay

Snug and safe
For the day

Until she would
Return

The babies curled
On their sides

They stayed still
All the time

To wait for mom’s
Return

When we walked
By the fawns

We were quiet
And slow

We gave them
Lots of room


Mama Skunk
Built a nest
For her babies to rest

We’ll give them
Lots of room

Underground
They will stay

Till they come
Out to play

We love to see
Their home


Mamas Care
For their young

We will peek
At their homes

And give them
Lots of love
