The Forest Pool
by
Grace Berkheiser
(age 10)
As the sun comes up at morning's dawn,
A mother deer with little fawn
Come to drink at the forest pool
Where the water flows fresh and cool.
Nearby in a tree a robin sings,
Then off he flies on swift little wings.
Close by a squirrel looks and peeps
Out of a tree where at night he sleeps.
A rabbit come, and for a drink, stops,
Then off he goes with many hops.
It's full of life near the forest pool
Where the water flows fresh and cool.
