WINTER AWE WALK by Joyce Uglow
Awe
Strolling
Breathing in
Noticing new
Tracks in the fresh snow
Pondering, who was here?
Pausing, breathing in sweet scenes
Noticing bunny’s secret place
Strolling away, breathing, leaving peace

INVITATIONS by Joyce Uglow
I am Lady Lighthouse.
Standing tall, my lights revolve,
Revealing risks of
Rocky dangers.
I am Lantern, lighting the way.
My bright beams guide,
Calming fears of
Rough waters.
I am Beacon, brightening your path.
My trusty torch
Illuminating invitations of
Refuge.
Tall and revolving, lighting and brightening:
Everything is alright.
A safe harbor awaits.
You are welcome here.
Jump Rope Chant
RECESS by Joyce Uglow
Whirling, turning, jumping to the beat,
Twirling ropes – a recess treat.
Singing, clapping, putting on a show,
Chanting rhymes – songs we all know.
Swirling, twirling, hopping in on cue,
Taking turns – jump in, then through.
Twisting, leaping, trying a new move,
Making friends – feeling the groove.
Ringing, ringing, our recess ends.
Linking hands – Now forever friends!
