We walked around the park

From morning until dark—

Along the way, we saw tree roots sticking out

We saw squirrel holes underneath the roots—

Then we picked many pretty pink flowers

And went to gather pine cones

In another part of the park

We sat beneath a tree and discussed

What was and what was not

Made a fireplace of sticks and grass

And carpet mat and twigs

Looked for God upon the hill

And went into class when

The bell rang at our school.
