Keepsakes
By Leland B. Jacobs
I keep bottle caps,
I keep strings,
I keep keys and corks
And all such things.
When people say,
“What good are they?”
The answer’s hard to get
For just how I will use them all
I don’t know yet.
Night Bear
By Lee Bennett Hopkins
In the dark of night
When all is still
And I’m half-sleeping in my bed;
It’s good to know
My Teddy-bear
Is snuggling at my head
