LET’S TAKE A WALK
by Lori Himmel
Let’s take a walk
Down the street
around the block
up a trail.
Where paths twist and turn
and rock beds and mud
slop our shoes.
Look under logs
Collect secret treasures
Until pockets are heavy and
legs grow weak.
Let’s take a walk,
little one
Only hand-in-hand
with you.

I love that you took us along on this walk also, Lori. And I like that you let us feel what they were feeling: until pockets are heavy and legs grow weak. Thanks for sharing your precious words with us.

Really love that their pockets are heavy with “secret treasure.” Nice imagery, Lori.
Nothing like exploring and finding treasures with a kid. Great job putting us in their shoes – slopped with mud – and heavy pockets. Good luck!
Great visuals on this lovely walk. Good luck Lori.
I really enjoyed walking with you Lori – this is lovely to read :o)
I can se the whole walk. So fun for a little one. Nice job.
Sounds like a lot of fun! Cute story!
