I wrote this for first and second grade campers. Allow yourself to become like a child as you read.


 

Skippy was a little dog
who lived out in the country.
Fluffy, a long haired kitty,
met him by a maple tree.
 
They talked with one another
and soon they became good friends
following a curvy path
to try to find where it ends.
 
When they neared a little pond
out hopped Jeremy the frog
and when they passed a big barn
they welcomed Herman the hog.
 
They continued down the path
up to a fork in the road
and couldn’t make up their minds
so they asked Thomas the toad.
 
“To the right or you’ll be left,”
said Thomas with a smile
and they followed after him
for what seemed like a mile.
 
The path’s end was just ahead
it was a big surprise
they looked at one another
and couldn’t believe their eyes.
 
They were back where they started
it began just where it ends
but now it was different
because they were now all friends.
 
When you life goes in circles
and you don’t know where you are
just look at the friends you have
when you haven’t traveled far.
 
God is the God of circles
watching us from above
and helping us find new friends
with which we can share God’s love.

What a beautiful story to read to children for them to see how all things return from whence they come. God bless...

Be always safe,
