Walking A Small Child

The vigilant dog
Keeping the neighborhood safe,
Walking a small child.

The blistering sun
Shows the way to a shade tree,
Walking a small child.

The colorful kite
On a blustery blue day,
Walking a small child.

The billowing wind
Sends all quickly on their way,
Walking a small child.

The guardian moon
Makes safe the room for sleeping,
Walking a small child.

The brilliant stars
Guiding the way for dreaming,
Walking a small child.
