Once upon a time when I was walking,
I stumbled upon a sign that read "NO CROSSING"
The path I would take led to a bridge
I would cross to the other side.
I continued to move forward not saying
a word, although I could hear the whispers
among the trees, and the birds. It would be
a while before another bridge would be in sight,
so I continue to move on enjoying the sunlight.
As I passed the beautiful flowers that had bloomed
along the way I could hear some of the larger animals,
as they would run and play, through bushes through
the weeds and up the trees and down. This was a busy place,
much busier than the town. I spoke not a word but continued
on my way, for I couldn't wait to tell all my friends about
my day. The bridge was now upon me and I crossed it with a
smile for now I was home. I was back in town!
