Educate and require. - Carol Goodrow SNEAKERS by Carol Goodrow Art from Carol's book Kids Running: Have Fun, Get Faster & Go Farther It's time to run so what do I do? I wear my favorite running shoes! I take a leap and hit the ground. The earth's not hard when I come down. Because it's sprouted friendly hands, That push me up above the land. High toward the trees, close to the sky, I feel like I could almost fly. The cloud's a net and I'm a trout. It catches me and flings me out. I'm a ball and the game's in play. The earth rebounds and I'm on my way. Why do you run? Let us know. Write a poem or send in artwork.
