Balloons flying,

Children sighing,

What a day to go kite flying.

Breeze is cool, [or "Breezes cool"]

Away from school

Cowboys fighting out a duel.

Time seems to stand quite still,

In a child's world it always will.



Fish is biting, [or Fishes biting]

So exciting!

Lunchtime sounds so inviting.

At the bill [bill = a narrow promontory]

He gets a thrill

Sitting, watching bobbing quill. [quill = feather used as a fishing bait float]



Time seems to stand quite still,

In a child's world it always will.



Yesterday's dreams

Are tomorrow's sighs.

Watch children playing,

They seem so wise.



Mary Green

Today's a queen

One thousand dollies are her dream.

In cotton frocks

And golden locks,

Her palace is an orange box



Time seems to stand quite still,

In a child's world it always will.
