Earth Day

I'm proud to wear my Earth Day badge.
I give the Earth a hand.
I pick up litter, care for trees,
Recycle what I can.
I am an Earth Day helper,
Each and every day.
I take care of our Mother Earth,
In oh, so many ways.

The Snowman

One cold and quiet winter day
I made a snowman fat.
His eyes were coal, his hat was Dad's,
My sister thought of that!
I got a carrot for his nose,
A broom for him to hold,
I wrapped my scarf around his neck,
To keep him from the cold!
