We looked at a poem called, “And My Heart Soars” by Chief Dan George and had a think about the things that make our hearts soar.  We wrote our own poems and then made this class poem by choosing our favourite lines from some of our poems.

 

And My Heart Soars

The sound of the rain,
The bark of a dog,
The kindness of my teacher,
Speak to me.

The nibble of my hamster,
The sweetness of the strawberries,
The funniness of jokes,
Speak to me.

The terrible jokes of my Dad,
The sizzling of bacon,
The tickle of my spider,
Speak to me.

The hooves of horses,
The jumping of my friends,
The sweetness of a lollipop,
Speak to me.

The love of my family,
The singing of the birds,
The setting of the sun,
Speak to me.

And my heart soars.
