This is a children's story I wrote for my grandchildren. If you could read it and share it with the little ones in your life, I would love to get your opinion as a christian parent. Thanks, Lisa



LETS FLY

THE GREEN BIRD SAID TO THE WHITE BUNNY

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY, WANNA PLAY?
SURE, SAID THE BUNNY,
YOU have made my day most sunny

CAN WE PLAY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?

WHAT shall we experience together

Bunny, Continued...I've always wanted to FLY

BUT no, not I

I have no wings to soar in the sky

I was informed,flying is not something I can do.

BIRD REPLIED,May I ask, WHO in this world,misinformed YOU?

BUNNY CRIED; IT WAS Sneaky,

Do you know him, HE'S THE RAT.


Sneaky said THESE WORDS TO ME.

DON'T HANG OUT WITH THE GREEN BIRD,

You know the one who is always,

SINGING LIKE A NERD......

HE thinks he's special, he thinks he should be HEARD.........

FURTHERMORE, HE WILL FLY AWAY LEAVING YOU ALONE AND SCIRD!.......

BIRD PUFFED UP AND REPLIED;

DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE RAT TELLS YOU?

I hate to say it, But I think HE LIED!

We choose to be wise when

We LISTEN TO our HEART

The rat has wrong motives

Right from the start
,
Bird whispered, AND DID YOU KNOW.....

HE is the ONLY ONE who.....well, who......

THINKS HE'S SMART.

(BUNNY REPEATED, as not to forget).....

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART,

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!

I must tell you Mr.Bird, the truth is

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO FLY

I HAVE A DREAM TO REACH THE SKY,

BUT I am sure you can see,

I wasn't BLESSED WITH GREEN WINGS

To lift me, Infact, I have no wings at all

AND ,oh bother,you can see,

I am oh so small.

BIRD lit up and retorted;

MY FRIEND, I CAN HELP,

I DO HAVE WINGS,

YOU do KNOW HOW TO HOP??????

COME ON..... HOP up,take a seat, Mr Lop

I WILL SHOW YOU THE WORLD FROM UP ABOVE...

why...... WE Might even see, Mr.SPIRIT

HE'S MY FRIEND, the gentle white DOVE.

BUNNY DID listened, he did just THAT, Atop Mr.Bird he comfortably sat,

HE hopped an enormous HOP

Which BOUNCED HIM UP ON top of BIRD'S BACK

The world looked different to him already!

He said,with excitement,

Would you take a look at that!

HE SOON FOUND THE FREEDOM HE LONGED FOR

AS THEY ROSE high up against the air,
.
Bunny took notice as;

THEY FLEW RIGHT PAST, SNEAKY, The ill-humored RAT

BUNNY, HELD ON tight,

He MANAGED a friendly WAVE,

Poor rat,he just doesn't understand,

How to behave.

SNEAKY THE RAT had thoughts racing through his mind,

he dared not speak,

THESE WERE THE SECRETS

HE sought TO KEEP....

IF I HAD A FRIEND.... I COULD FLY LIKE THAT!

i despise myself, i hate being a rat!

Now, do tell,how sad is that?

HE scratched his head,threw his hat,

Frustrated,he coughed and he spat,

Trust me, you didn't want to see that!

THE MORAL OF THE STORY is simple;

Love yourself so you can love others,

SHARE your wings,

SHARE all your things!

MANY TIMES WE can't fly ALONE,

We need encouragement when far from home.

THE TRUTH IS; TOGETHER, WE CAN FLY,

TOGETHER WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY.

Look UP ABOVE,

Find the gentle white DOVE,

He can show you how to love.

A TRUE FRIEND WILL SHARE THEIR GIFTS

They WILL delight to GIVE YOUR SPIRIT A LIFT.

REMEMBER,You have gifts to share TOO.

THERE WILL BE RATS WHO ENVY YOU,

Wave to them from afar,

As you reach to touch that star!

You will find it is not too far.

Most IMPORTANT ALWAYS REMEMBER

I love YOU!

If I could I would give you wings,

You are the reason my heart sings!
