Dear D,

What if there was

a cow that went ‘buzz’

or a cat that said ‘moo’

 or a dog saying ‘mew’? 

The bee could say ‘neigh’.

Then what would the horse say?

Love, Mom, Dad, Brother, and Brother

Dear I,

Will you laugh

if a giraffe

sings a long

silly song?

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear I,

If you go to bed early,

then surely,

your hair will be curly,

your teeth will be pearly,

and your dreams will be swirly.

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

What did you do?

Oh yeah – you flew!

I think that you 

yelled “woohoo”!

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear I,

Crystals and amethyst,

we could write a whole list

like tiger’s eye and pyrite

shining in the light.

Love, Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Fool’s gold is pyrite,

oh what a site.

And it would be cruel

not to mention that tiger’s eye is cool.

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear D,

While panning, did you spy

amethyst and tiger’s eye?

Also agate and rose quartz,

so many stones, all sorts.

Love, Mom, Dad, Brother, and Brother

Dear I,

If a whole group

ate soup,

together we’d slurp,

then burp.

(And of course we

would say ‘Excuse me!’)

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear I,

If you jump

over a bump

don’t fall and get a lump.

Love, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

I made a new meal.

You seemed to feel

it tasted great,

and so you ate.

Love, Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister
