The Blue Dinosaur

a poem for children

Once upon a happy time,

At the end of a long street,

Lived a little brown eyed girl

Smiling always very sweet.

 

Her small room was painted pink,

Pillows pink, pink her bed sheet.

All her dolls, her pretty dress

Everything was clean and neat.

 

Outside it was cold and sleet,

Christmas time was almost there,

She stood watching from the window

Holding tight her teddy bear.

 

Thinking about Santa Claus

She made then a special prayer:

„Please, bring something else this time.

No more dolls with plastic hair.”

 

„I just want a dinosaur

Wearing a blue silk costume

With white skin and golden wings

Flying all around my room.

 

I am bored of too much pink

It’s enough when roses bloom.

When the sky is blue and clear

I want blue but never gloom.”

 

Maybe God heard that girl’s wish,

Changing what was there below,

He made snow instead of sleet,

With blue sky and golden glow.

How sweet, warm, and comforting. Even very old children like me enjoy this one.
