When I was hiking in the woods <br />I found a walking stick. <br />I used it while I walked for miles. <br />It sure did make me quick! <br /> <br />When I was swimming at the beach <br />I found a pretty shell. <br />I hooked it on a necklace. <br />I think it looks real swell! <br /> <br />When I was at the millpond <br />I found a little stone. <br />I took it home and washed it up. <br />Oh my, how that rock shone! <br /> <br />When I was in the meadow <br />I saw a butterfly. <br />I knew I'd never catch it... <br />but you know me........I had to try!<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-was/
