We Called It the Jungle

Walking the path among trampled branches Spider web entwined in the fallen leaves Eyes scanning for evidence of dreaded spider Fear seeping in causing a momentary shudder Wandering further to pick just the spot for a bed Willows layerd will soften the place to lay our head Birds song spread their encouragement of adventure A place imaginations flourish in childish pleasure The jungle a treasured childhood place Lost in the wilderness no intruder to invade our space Escape from reality to a place made our own Huts built for shelter on rainy days, as we play alone A place God made beautiful we could spend our day Our special place, our dreams, a great place to play
