In addition to writing children's poetry, I also have written some song lyrics.
In July, 2008, Sergio Wals released a CD entitled "Michael Closed the Bathroom Door." All of the songs are made from poems I have written, and I even perform on some of the songs. You can purchase the CD by clicking here. You can download individual songs at Dig Station by clicking here.
If you just want to listen, you can hear several of my poems for kids as songs on my Songramp web page. The links are below.
Note that it is free and easy to sign up as a registered member of Songramp. If you do, you can vote for my songs!
Several sets of lyrics have been made into songs by my friends Bobby and Cherie Maestas.
Our first song together, "Alana's Eyes" was inspired by the tragic events that happened at the Beslan School in Russia in September 2005, and the specific story of a woman who had to leave her daughter Alana behind at the school in order to save her baby.
