One Big Puzzle

One big puzzle hanging on the sky

My little brother saw it while herding the sheep 
My big sister saw it while fetching firewood
My mother saw it while cooking lunch
My dad saw it on his way home from work

We all ran to it, all excited and amazed

Dad and I build the tallest ladder
My sister and my mum tied the ropes together to make one long one
My little brother kept the sheep away

Dad got on the top step of the ladder and threw the rope very far up the sky
The clouds paved the way and the rope ended in God's hand

He smiled when this happened
He smiled when me and my family worked together to solve the puzzle 
We smiled when we got it
