I had an opportunity to become a child again for a brief moment
yesterday on my second grader's field trip.  I hope this poem will
bring you some youthful memories as well.  Bob <><

Field Trip

From a yellow bus
headed for the sun
on a sandy beach,
"We are having fun!"

Dipping in tide pools
with both hands and arms
looking for treasures,
"Nature's lucky charms!"

I found a starfish
sitting in a pool
looking through algae,
"Teacher, shells are cool!"

Feeling hermit crab
tickling down my spine
climbing up my neck,
"Can't I make him mine?"

Eating our sack lunch
right there in the park
filled with happy thoughts,
"Can't we stay 'til dark?"

Watching ocean waves
sweep our cares away
as we waved from bus,
"We'll be back someday!"



-Lighthouse Bob

Yes. I enjoyed you enjoying the kids at play. Kids sure do bring happy moments, indeed. Thanks.

"unless you become as a child..." and didn't you have a grand time?  Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

This sure brings back the memories, Bob.  Thank you for sharing it, my friend.  I'm sure it was as much fun for you as it was for your child.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
