Peacock

Beautiful feathers

and a pretty dance

At night on a huge tree

It is an enemy to all snakes

Looks quickly here and there

I wonder if the peacock

could fly in the sky.

Stars

Twinkling at night

In the black, dark night

Like tiny diamonds

Which we value so much

At night before I go to sleep

I look out of my window

I'm waiting for a star to fall

To make my little wish

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka was known as the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean'

Rubber, tea and coconuts are the main crops

In my country

The longest river is Mahaweli

And

Not everywhere.

Kovils and Churches

And many temples are there

Mother

I have many guardians

But my mom is the one

I like the most

She is short and fair

with straight hair

She is cheerful and friendly

Hard working and shy

She helps me with my studies

She is a creative thinker

She is usually punctual

She can work with others

She is happy always

Mom, wherever I go

you have to be behind me

When I was a small child

You taught me good habits

As my first teacher

You are the one I like the most

Life has no blessing like my mom

Spirits are ageless

Dreams are endless

Memories are timeless

My mom is priceless
