Skipping Stones
When you are at the water's edge
Here is something fun to do:
Flick a stone and watch it
Skip, skip, skip away from you.
Listen for the little splashes
Spinning circles filled with light.
As the ripples keep on rippling,
That flat stone plops out of sight.
Here is something fun to do:
Flick a stone and watch it
Skip, skip, skip away from you.
Listen for the little splashes
Spinning circles filled with light.
As the ripples keep on rippling,
That flat stone plops out of sight.
