BUSIED YOUTH, by                    
First Line: Busy little boy
Last Line: All depends on you.
Subject(s): Youth


Busy little boy,
With so much to do,
Scampering up hillsides;
Treading gardens through.

With a pointed stick,
Piercing apples, green,
Flinging them far sky-ward ...
Storming you ravine.

Watching, wonder-eyed,
How a nest is made;
Swinging from a limb's end ...
Seeking brooks to wade.

Wishing on a star,
When a day is through ...
Nimble little youngster,
All depends on you.
