On a Roll, Poem For Children

Let's roll the dice and we'll begin, to see what rolls and turns and spins - an apple, falling from a branch, a carousel where horses prance, the ocean when it rolls to shore, a bouncing ball across the floor, a skipping rope going round in loops, a brightly painted hula hoop, the sun that dances in the sky, our bicycles when they go by, the world, our planet, circling the sun, the moon on high, when days are done, the earth, our planet, revolving in space, an ancient, living, wondrous place.
