Walk With Me , Grandson

Walk with me , Grandson

Come walk with me and I’ll share with you
The wonders of the world to see
The rising sun in a time called day
and the moon that glows in a time called night

Walk with me and I’ll show you things 
that you have will fill you with such awe
and colors greeting you each day
the azure sky and morning light
Reflecting on a pond with verdant fields galore

and skins of color like circus balloons
A big red ball and things  that crawl
Animals that bark and mew
I 'll teach how to tie your shoes

To ride a bike and blow your nose
musical sounds you never heard 
you’ll talk some day and you will know
to seek lore with the written word

This is so sweet, Ralph. By the way, isn't the title "Walk with me..." ? good luck in the contest. I wonder when she will judge it.
