Map of Fun by Naomi Shihab Nye
Where did my feet walk today?
Did they step on a cloud, or into a sea??
Did a smooth wooden floor welcome their beat?
They slid through the grass,
They stepped on a stone
I dashed up the stairs.
My cat bit my toe
I slid in the hall
I splashed in a bath
My fabulous feet felt it all.
Now they are curling under the sheet
Tomorrow I will dance and run
Skip and hop.
Twirl and leap
Feet always find the map of fun
And follow it.
But now they rest, They rest.
