watch out Bono.

I start songwriting workshops with my kids when they are in the 2nd grade. Once a month we focus on songwriting, talk through the process, and I let them create. I adore this process. Last week we focused on writing a song based on a color. I wish you could hear them sing their songs. Here are a few of my favorites:

Green and Blue

Green grass, green trees.
Blue river, blue sky.
Green and blue are part of nature.
Green paint, blue eyes.
Green shoes, blue dress.
Green and blue are part of us.
Green and blue are part of nature.
Green and blue are part of us.

Lavender and Blue

Lavender and blue,
Oh how I love you.
Deep beneath the sea,
Happiness and glee.
Lavender and blue,
Oh how I love you.

Lavender

Lavender sweet, lavender sad.
Lavender you make me glad.
Lavender you are with me.
You comfort my sorrow.
Lavender, oh yeah.
Lavender sweet, lavender sad.
Lavender you make me glad.

Yellow Jello

My yellow fellow does not like Jello.
What shall I do with my yellow fellow?
I saw Lingo with my fellow,
And he got stuck in Jello. HA!
Yellow Jello, yellow Jello,
We all love yellow Jello.

I hope these made you glad. Happy weekending dear ones!
