• Get in the rusty pick up and drive down the dirt road
    Pass the grassy hide and seek field on your right
    And remember the time your brother got bit by a rubber snake
    Keep driving until the field is out of sight

    Look up and to your left
    See the burnt down school house
    Envision the small creature put into your best friend’s desk
    Something the teacher called a kangaroo mouse

    Far ahead on the dirt trail
    Keep an eye out for an old willow tree
    Feel the wind in your hair as you swung from its limbs
    Recall how happiness was always a guarantee

    As you near your destination don’t forget to listen
    Listen for the laughter that sang through the air
    Listen for the splash in the cold germy lake
    And listen for the sounds of a child out in the sun without a care
