I Grew Today

I Grew Today

I grew today; I think I grew an inch.
My secret is, I eat my spinach greens.
I season them with salt, but just a pinch,
And then sometimes I alos eat my beans.
I grew today; I think I grew a foot.
I drink my milk to make my bones grow long.
My rule has always been, quite simply put:
Drink milk, drink milk, drink milk, it’s never wrong!
I grew today; I think I grew a yard,
I think because the exercise I do.
I swim. I bike. I run. I’m training hard.
I wonder one day what I’ll grow into.
I grew today; I think I grew  mile:
That is, of course, if you can count my smile.

Kittens Grow Up

Kittens Grow Up

Kittens Grow Up

I used to hold my kitten in my hands,
A tiny ball of fluff and fuzzy fur.
As kitten grows, my love for him expands,
A fact of which I’m absolutely sure.
He’s still a baby kitten in my heart,
And in my eyes he’s certainly as dear.
It’s not much fun for us to be apart,
And so I pick him up and hold him near.
But now he’s big enough to fill my arms,
And lifting him is not an easy task.
His size must be because of all his charms.
I’m not sure what he weighs, so please don’t ask!
I love my kitty, and I’m sure he knows
I’ll love him more however big he grows.
