Slide Down a Sunbeam
Slide down a sunbeam,
taste a drop of rain,
splash in a puddle
in the middle of the lane.
Fly on a wind current,
nap on a cloud,
throw down a lightning bolt
and make the thunder LOUD.
Howl in the moonlight,
race among the stars,
captain a hot air balloon
all the way to Mars.
Navigate the oceans on a
boat of billowing sails,
conquer the gigantic waves,
befriend a pod of whales.
Sit atop a redwood tree
chatting with the birds—
What adventures you can have
with just a few good words!
taste a drop of rain,
splash in a puddle
in the middle of the lane.
Fly on a wind current,
nap on a cloud,
throw down a lightning bolt
and make the thunder LOUD.
Howl in the moonlight,
race among the stars,
captain a hot air balloon
all the way to Mars.
Navigate the oceans on a
boat of billowing sails,
conquer the gigantic waves,
befriend a pod of whales.
Sit atop a redwood tree
chatting with the birds—
What adventures you can have
with just a few good words!
