Gert Strydom Toddler Poems

With two soft arms you did reach out to me
in your small dress in church I did a real fairy princess see,
undaunted you drove your own electric-car up and down
pass the barking dogs in the streets of the town
...

Rosy her small finger points into the book
where we did the search for wild animals undertook
while like a small lion next to me she does growl
and with bended fingers she hoots like an owl,
...

In the evenings I am sometimes afraid

In the evenings I am sometimes scared
and also for a spider and a snake
...
