The Little Red Hen

Copyright: Latisha Ali-Ramlogan, October 2001
The grassy green fields
The lovely blue skies
Gentle mountain breeze
Turned my sadness into smilesFor often alone
So different from the rest
I looked at my feathers
Oh! I felt so depressedEveryone was yellow
And I, the only red
No one wanted to play with me
Not even one friendStrutting through the barnyard
I turned away from my fears
And looked up at the fields
That seemed to be saying
Hello there! my friendI stopped, turned and flew on the top of the hay
Sat and closed my eyes
The wind lifted my feathers and I said aloud
It's good to be alive!Just then I felt the presence
Of someone close behind
It was a lovely yellow hen
She looked and said Hi!I beckoned her to sit with me
She did and then she said
Miss Red Hen I have something to ask
Would you be my friend?
