Backyard Adventures

Boys and shovels
digging for gold,
What wonderful fun
each shovel-full holds.

With hopes and dreams and
memories to make,
They choose the spot
their treasure to take.

With excitement running
at fever pitch,
The boys made plans
of being rich.

With shovels churning
and dirt flying in the air,
They have no worries
scarcely a care.

Though gold or jewels
are not to be found,
You can tell they’re happy
just from the sound.

Dirty and happy and
tired just a bit,
They hear someone say
it’s time to quit.

From the magical hole
they tear themselves away,
Making new plans
for the very next day.
