Weekly Memory Work: Giraffe poem and Ephesians 6:1
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right.”
I know a giraffe
With a neck that’s real high,
She stretches and stretches
Till it reaches the sky.
She lives on the plains
With the elephants too,
You might also see her
When you go to the zoo.
