A Day of Play

We drew and traced our tiny feet,
Laughed out loud in summer’s heat.
We dug down deep in sandy ground,
Where patty cakes were shaped and found.

We smashed them flat with giggly might,
And splashed in water, pure delight.
We tried on hats, both big and small,
And sang our songs for one and all.

With trucks and wagons, off we’d go,
Through paths of play, both fast and slow.
A day so full, from end to start,
Of messy hands and happy hearts.
