  1. A beautiful Sunny day
  2. Great, glorious, golden sun,
    Shine down on me today,
    You are the life of all this earth,
    You and your magic ray.

    You are the life of bird and plant,
    All must depend on you.

    Shine down, great sun, the whole day long!
    Shine from the heaven’s blue.
    And I will welcome your golden rays,
    For you mean life to me,

    And you mean happiness and health,

    And never say goodbye.

    Forever and ever give us your light,
    From out the wide blue sky.

    Saying all the prayers is the way
    To get mental and spiritual refreshment all the day

    This will make your future shine
    Never be loud and obey your elders
    Will get success in life this service who renders

    Short poems in English

    1. Apple tree
    2. Five red apples hanging in a tree
      The juiciest apples you ever did see.
      The wind came by and gave an angry frown
      And one little apple came tumbling down.

      Four red apples, hanging in a tree,
      The juiciest apples you ever did see.
      The wind came by and gave an angry frown
      And one little apple came tumbling down.

      Three red apples, hanging in a tree,
      The juiciest apples you ever did see.
      The wind came by and gave an angry frown
      And one little apple came tumbling down.

      Two red apples, hanging in a tree,
      The juiciest apples you ever did see.
      The wind came by and gave an angry frown
      And one little apple came tumbling down.

      One red apple, hanging in a tree,
      The juiciest apple you ever did see.
      The wind came by and gave an angry frown
      And one little apple came tumbling down.
      No red apples hanging in a tree.

    3. Parental Pride
    4. My day-old son is plenty scrawny,
      his mouth is wide with screams, or yawny;
      His ears seem larger than he’s needing,
      His nose is flat, his chin’s receding.
      His skin is very, very red,
      He has no hair upon his head,
      and yet I’m proud as proud can be,
      To hear you say he looks like me.

    5. Mother kept a Garden
    6. My Mother kept a garden,
      A garden of the heart.

      She planted all the good things
      That gave my life its start.

      She turned me to the sunshine
      And encouraged me to dream.

      Fostering and nurturing
      The seeds of self-esteem.

      And when the winds and rain came,
      She protected me enough.

      But not too much because she knew
      I’d need to stand up strong and tough.

      Her constant good example
      Always taught me right from wrong.
      Markers for my pathway
      That will last a lifetime long.

      I am my Mother’s garden.
      I am her legacy.

      And I hope today she feels the love
      Reflected back from me.

    Poems on Nature in English

    1. Come And Plant A Tree
    2.  
      Plant a tree to save the world,
      Plant a tree to save the earth.
      The tree provides shelter and food,
      Cleans up the air and makes it good.
      Trees save us from hot sun rays,
      Cools up the ground and cools up the ways.
      Bring clouds and trees bring rain,
      Let them flourish on our land.

      Trees add beauty to our place.
      With its goodness and its grace.
      Come on children,  where have you been?
      Plant a tree and just go green.

    3. The Wind
    4. I can get through a doorway without any key,
      And strip the leaves from the great oak tree.

      I can drive storm clouds and shake tall towers,
      Or steal through a garden and not wake the flowers.

      Seas I can move and ships I can sink;
      I can carry a house-top or the scent of a pink.

      When I am angry I can rave and riot;
      And when I am spent, I lie quiet as quiet.

    5. Rainbow
    6. Boats sail on the rivers,
      And ships sail on the seas;

      But clouds that sail across the sky
      Are prettier than these.
      There are bridges on the rivers,
      As pretty as you please;

      But the bow that bridges heaven,
      And overtops the trees,

      And builds a road from earth to sky,
      Is prettier far than these.

    9. Dear Teacher
    10. I came to the class
      To learn and grow

    11. Card for You
    12. Teacher, teacher
      Where are you?

      In red and blur
