A New World
Columbus found a new world
Because he dared to do
A thing that was unheard of-
A thing that was quite new.
Columbus found a new world
Because he made a start,
Instead of merely pond’ring o’er
The thoughts within his heart. Columbus found a new world
Because he saw things through-
And you can find your new world
Precisely that way, too.
New Friends
This morning, when
I started school,
I met a girl
named Linda Lou
and she met me and then we were two.
Then both of us met Jerry Lee
and that made us threThen Paul came running
through the door--
Now the three of us are four--
And I can’t wait to meet some more.
