Children’s Stories and Poems

By Cora Delves

This is a book written with love for life and the use of the imagination. There are stories for children to read repeatedly and poems meant for all ages. You will hear about magic and mermaids, shimmering waterfalls, and trees with wrapped candy or fruits.
As you read the poems, you will feel as if you are the one right there in that moment. Some of the poems written are about things that happened in real life.
Please read and enjoy the walk through life with me. It is a new adventure I hope you will be a part of.
More written items are coming again soon—my autobiography and a true story about a family that struggles to be reunited after years of separation.
Thank you.

Another adventure is about to happen because Nana has come for an overnight stay. Each time she comes we lie down on her bed and she has us using our minds for new ideas and quiet time all rolled in one.

Peyton and Emelia and Nana are lying on the deck enjoying the warm breeze coming across the bow. They have their swim suits on and getting a tan.

We watch as they come closer and see that a school of Dolphins is having fun playing around our boat. These are not ordinary Dolphins no! They are different because they are all different colors blue and pink, red and brown, lavender and yellow, wow!!

Daddy has anchored the boat so that we can have fun with the Dolphins. Nana asked Daddy to join Emelia and Peyton in the water so that they could see them closer. While the family was in the water splashing each other and laughing, the blue dolphin came closer and then rose on its tail moving backwards and making noises causing everyone to laugh. Then the blue dolphin came close to Nana and indicated that she was to hold onto its fin. Nana took the blue dolphins fin and it swam a few feet away and back again.

Some of the other dolphins joined in by letting Emelia and Peyton and Daddy
