Scaredy Cat (Children)
 
  I guess I’m just a scaredy cat …
I am afraid of everything.
Sometimes I almost jump a mile
when I hear a telephone ring.

It's even scary in my room
so I’ve got to have a light.
Who knows, there might be monsters
under my bed at night!

When daddy drives across a bridge
I always hold my breath
just in case the bridge fell down
I wouldn't be drowned to death!

Stick my hand inside a box?
First tell me what is in it!
Wait, my sister’s yelling …
I’ll be back in just a minute.

I guess I’m braver than I thought.
Sissy made me sit beside her.
She said I was a hero
‘cause I smushed a big black spider!

C.J. Heck

C.J, I love this and I can't wait to show it to my 6yr old daughter - especially since I have to check under the bed every night before she'll get in it.
Hugs
