FAIRY TALES &
NURSERY RHYMES
Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got
And home did trot
As fast as he could caper
Went to bed
And plastered his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down!
Hickory, dickory, dock.
It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
Bumped his head
And he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the morning.
Old MacDonald had a farm,
Ee i ee i oh!
And on his farm he had some chicks,
Ee i ee i oh!
With a cluck-cluck here,
And a cluck-cluck there
Here a cluck, there a cluck,
Everywhere a cluck-cluck
Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh!
Jack, be nimble,
Jack, be quick,
Jack, jump over
The candlestick.
All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Eencey Weencey spider
Climed up the water spout;
Down came the rain
And washed poor Eencey out;
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain;
And the Eencey Weencey spider
Climbed up the spout again.
I see the moon, and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon, and God bless me.
I'm a Little Teapot
Short and Stout
Here is my Handle
Here is my Spout
When I get all Steamed Up
Hear me Shout
Tip Me Over, and Pour Me Out!
Pat-a Cake, Pat-a-cake,
bakers man, bake me a cake as fast as you can
roll it, and pull it,
and mark it with a B
put it in the oven for Baby and me
Star Light, Star Bright
First Star I see tonight...
Wish I may, wish I might...
Have the Wish I Wish tonight.
Ten little monkeys
jumping on the bed
One fell off
And broke his head
Mama called the Doctor
And the Doctor Said
No more monkeys
Jumping on the bed
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
The farmer in the dell,
The farmer in the dell,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The farmer in the dell.
Ring around the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes!
We all fall down.
The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
FAMILY
Friendships may come and go ... but the love of family lasts forever.
The branches on our family tree may grow apart, but we all have the same roots.
Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.
A family is like a patchwork quilt with kindness gently sewn. Each piece is an original with beauty of its own. With threads of warmth and happiness, it is tightly stitched together to last in love throughout the years. Our family is forever.
Although we are often headed in different directions, a family is what we are and a family is what we will always be.
A Family stitched together with love seldom unravels.
A family is a place of warmth when the world is cold; a place of safety when the world is hostile; a place of light when the world is dark.
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
Cherish your family
For they are your treasure
A storehouse of riches
Wealth beyond measure.
Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts and a few bad apples
Call it a clan, call it a network,
Call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it,
Whoever you are, you need one.
Family is the center of life's meaning.
Family ties are precious threads, no matter where we roam,
They draw us close to those we love, and pull our hearts toward home.
A House is made of brick and stone - a home is made of love alone.
A house is made of walls and beams, but a home is built with hopes and dreams.
A family is a haven of rest, a sanctuary of peace and most of all a harbor of love.
No matter what, no matter where... It's always home when love is there.
No person is ever alone - who is a member of a family.
There is nothing half as pleasant as coming home again.
A family is a little world created by love.
The family circle opens wide to welcome joy and love inside.
Family brings you home.
Love makes a couple...A baby makes a family.
Treat your friends like family and your family like friends.
Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.
The love in our family flows strong and deep, leaving us memories to treasure and keep.
My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
In life and baseball; there's no place like home.
F is for Familiar...
there is no place like home.
A is for always welcome,
no matter how far you roam.
M is for memories,
more cherished
each passing day.
I is for inspiration
given along the way.
L is for Love you feel
each time you get together.
Y is for the years to come,
for family lasts forever.
FATHER MOTHER CHILDREN
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
The test of man's faith is not in what he believes but what manner of man, what manner of husband and what manner of father he becomes as a result.
There are 3 stages in a man's life: 'My Daddy can whip your Daddy.'
'Aw, Dad, you don't know anything.' 'My father used to say . . .'
My father didn't tell me how to life; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Fathers are what give daughters away to other men who aren't nearly good
enough...so they can have grandchildren that are smarter than anybody's.
When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head.
A mother is not a person to lean on but person to make leaning unnecessary.
A mother understands what a child does not say.
The Joy of Motherhood: What a mother experiences when all her children are in bed.
My Mother taught me LOVE - " You know that whatever you do or
whatever happens, I'll stand behind you because I Love you."
As a mother, my job is to take care of what is possible and trust God with the impossible.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of love.
Babies are always more trouble than you thought - and more wonderful.
A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Small wonders bring special joys.
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.
It is not work when you're taking care of something (someone) you love.
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.
There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.
Children make you want to start life over.
Boy, noun: a noise with dirt on it.
A mother's children are portraits of herself.
There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.
Laughter is like changing a baby's diaper. It doesn't permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.
Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
Little boy/girl from up above,
Sent to bring us lots of Love.
We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
Where families gather, hearts warm.
All Because two people fell in love.
Cherish the little things
Faith. Family. Friends.
Having someplace to go is home, having someone to love is family, having both is a
blessing.
HOLIDAY'S
To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance.
Bright Christmas stars shine on high,
Golden stars in the wint'ry sky;
Christmas candles in windows bright
Send a greeting into the night.
Welcome Santa
What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus? Claustrophobic.
All of us hear the angels for a little while at Christmas.
All is calm... All is bright!
Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.
Peace on earth will come to stay, when we live Christmas every day.
Heap on the wood!-the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Christmas merry still.
{Happy Holidays}
