He was just a little kid <br />In a kid’s kind of world <br />Examining the places <br />Where the red dirt swirled <br /> <br />Hills and little trenches <br />To climb and investigate <br />Thoughts and visions <br />For a child to create <br /> <br />There’s no better place <br />For a youngster to enjoy <br />Than in the red dirt country <br />They don’t even need a toy <br /> <br />Just old-fashioned imagination <br />That all little children possess <br />Tucked into their little heads <br />Many things they can access <br /> <br />There’s nothing like watching <br />A child in a world of red dirt <br />Let’s imagine we’re a kid again <br />You know, it wouldn’t hurt!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-in-red-dirt/
