To my grandma, Lourdes, the first person to believe in me; To my mom, Silvana, for teaching me how to believe; To my husband, Kauan for believing in me especially when I don’t believe in myself.
Claude the Cloud
The sky was shiny blue
And all clouds were passing by
All of them were happy
Except for one little guy
His name was Claude
He was a really nice cloud
All white and fluffy
Really really round
But Claude was sad
Wherever he would go
His parents didn’t get him
And didn’t want to know
One day Claude felt it
A breeze coming from the west
He had never felt it before
But somehow it was the best
The sky turned dark
And Claude began to melt
He was falling apart!
But oh how good it felt
At the end there wasn’t a piece
You could see with your eye
And Claude rested in peace
For he just needed to cry
Alfred the Balloon
Alfred was a balloon
He was one indeed
He was red and shiny
And he was loved by kids
He lived in the magazine stand
For as long as he could remember
And the date on the newspaper said
It was the middle of December
One day as Alfred waited
A little boy passed by
And he wanted to have Alfred
Wanted so much that he cried!
In his hands Alfred was happy
But the boy wasn’t so clever
There was a very strong wind
And Alfred flew with the weather
While the boy on land cried
Alfred couldn’t help but go up
And he would soon meet the stars
They were a bit of a snub
It went up and up it went
Until it reached the moon
It cried, so alone
But this would change very soon
Coming from the corner
There was a little red boy
And as he saw Alfred
He wanted him as his toy
Alfred and he now have fun
You can see if you look to the sky
But so to not fly away
Alfred is now tied to his arm
Paula the Grain of Sand
Paula lived at the beach
That sounds like a dream
Life must be a peach
Or at least so it seemed
She was a grain of sand
But different as you would think
She was known throughout the land
For she was spiky and pink
She was bigger than the others
And so different indeed!
She was called weird by the otters
As she would suffer by the sea
She didn’t have friends
For she looked spiky and sharp
She would love to play games
