Excerpt
The calling continued, they began to chant
“Yes! You can do it you can!”
But as he stood there frozen, eyeing the ground
Chatterton came up with a plan.
He suddenly knew how to get from this tree
To the next without jumping across.
So he turned and ran back to the trunk of the tree
Avoiding the leaves and the moss.
His parents and siblings watched him run down,
Then look both ways on the ground.
He crossed the path, then climbed up their tree
To the limb where his family was found.
He stood there beside them as they turned and they stared
Genius his plan had been.
“But you can’t always find the easy way out
This task you must do again.”
“But mamma, but daddy, I made it to you,
I’m here with you in the tree.”
“Chatterton,” they smiled as they tried to explain,
“This we plainly can see.”
“But sometimes there are dangers for squirrels on the ground,
there are things out there that can hurt you.
You just have to learn how to jump in the trees
It’s something you just have to get through.”
