Summer Hide and Seek
In the summer sun, we run and play,
Finding spots to hide away,
Behind the trees and bushes green,
In the warm and bright sunbeam.
Laughter echoes through the air,
As we dart from here to there,
Count to ten, then come and seek,
In our game, no one is weak.
Barefoot in the grass so soft,
Climbing trees and climbing loft,
Sunny days that never end,
Playing games with every friend.
When the sun begins to sink,
We all gather, stop and think,
Tomorrow brings another day,
For more summer games and play.

Down to the pond, not far away,
Quacking ducks, all in a row,
Swim and splash, and round they go.
With bread crumbs in our hands so small,
We watch them waddle, short and tall,
Feathers shiny, colors bright,
Flapping wings, a cheerful sight.
We sit and laugh on the grassy shore,
Listening to their friendly lore,
Sunny days with skies so blue,
Pond adventures, just me and you.
As the sun begins to set,
The ducks line up, their wings to let,
Goodnight to them, we softly say,
We’ll return another day.

Balancing on one foot, then on two,
Hopping through chalky squares, me and you.
The pavement's warm under our feet,
With each leap, our game's complete.
