Truly, in my opinion, our purpose in life is love — whether a person has it in his/her life and shares it with others. Along with ensuring access to necessities such as food, health, and shelter (and protecting life in all forms) — love is really what keeps me going. Anyway, I attempted to communicate that message with this picture book poem. Let me know though if you think it’s too preachy… š

A tiger grrs
A cuckoo coos
A grey wolf howlsā¦
Under the moon
A lion roars
A possum whines
Nightingales singā¦
Sweet lullabies
A puppy woofs
A kitten purrs
A toddler criesā¦
He canāt say words!
An owl hoots
While cobras hiss
My old clock, it goesā¦
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Bald eagles screech
While people speak
Some aunts they talkā¦
For weeks on weeks!
A cat meows
A cow ā it moos
A jaguar growlsā¦
Sheās stuck in zoo!
Frogs croak and croak
Mice squeak and squeak
Big horses neigh
While goats⦠they bleatā¦
Bluebirds all chirp
While skunks ā āPEE-YEW!!!ā
Our noses go, sometimesā¦.
HAAAAA — CHOOOOOO!!!!
For all around
Are many sounds!
But one alone
Is best ā hands down!
Most folks can say it
Yes ā you too!
The greatest sound isā¦
āI love youā.
