Reflections of playing a game with my oldest child.

Pebble drops
Foot hops
Summer play
Sunny day
Jump squares
No cares
Playin’ hopscotch

School grounds
Kid sounds
Nimble feet
Gravel’s heat
Turn around
Falling down
Playin’ hopscotch

Little buddy
Quick study
Soft bones
Smooth stones
Skies blue
Us two
Playin’ hopscotch

Night falls
Mama calls
Cozy bed
Sleepy head
Next time
Same rhyme
Playin’ hopscotch
