Waterfall
Water
does it
hurt to fall?
(I don’t
like it—
not at all!)
But you
seem to
dance and splash
not like
me—I
always crash!
If you
don’t mind
I will see
if you
would like
to fall
on me!
does it
hurt to fall?
(I don’t
like it—
not at all!)
But you
seem to
dance and splash
not like
me—I
always crash!
If you
don’t mind
I will see
if you
would like
to fall
on me!
