A nemesis to a child's freedom of choice
Confined by parental word, inside
But school, the mediator of discipline
Gives way afoot on the route home
There lies a temptation impassable
Behold the puddles of impulsive delight
Where frolicking splashes bring joy
The billowing clouds within the water
Appearing as if a horizon of a gathering storm
Paralleling the one impending, at home
A right of passage in a child's life
Some venturous fun they cannot resist
A priceless folly that educates the spirit
Teaching that not all is so very serious
And imaginations flow freely like the rain
