Weekly Memory Work: Psalm 24:1 and The Crickets poem

Psalm 24:1

“The Earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” 

The Crickets

You don’t need tickets

To listen to crickets.

They chirp and cheep for free.

They fiddle and sing

By rubbing each wing,

And never will charge you a fee.
