Six and Sixteen and Sixty

Now that you are six . . .

You can look for butterflies

in the park.

You can look for ladybugs

in the garden.

You can look for tadpole frogs

in the water.

You can look for worms squirming

in the earth.

You can seek with Dad.

You can peek with Mom.

You can grub with pals.

You can soar in clouds.

You can look in autumn

under leaves.

You can look in winter

at the ice.

You can look in spring

on new blooms.

You can look in summer

at the beach.

And you can look

when you are six

and sixteen

and sixty!
