Our Creative Friends
People
You are black,
I am white,
We are people!
You live here,
I live there,
We are people!
You believe this,
I believe that,
We are people!
You give hugs,
I give hugs,
We are people!
You love me,
I love you,
We are people!

Sunset
Sun
Up in the clouds
North of the world
Settle
End of the day
Tilting down.

God’s Love
A dream in your pocket,
A wish in your shoe,
A rainbow to wear,
And a moonbeam or two.
A smile on your face,
And a star in your hair,
Hope today helps you know
That God’s love is there.

My Brother
My brother is an elder.
He’s down in Ecuador.
He loves to preach the gospel
To people rich and poor.
The food is really different.
The country’s super hot.
The people all speak Spanish,
So he’s learning quite a lot.
My brother is my hero.
I hope to be like that.
To serve my Heavenly Father,
Like my big brother Matt.
