More Run

The afternoon was ebbing
When we made it to the park.
We didn’t have a lot of time
Before it got too dark.

But once we hit the grass, we knew
The fun had just begun;
As Henry put it perfectly,
T’was time to do “more run.”

A two year old has energy
I wish that I could tap.
Of course, it also helps to take
A nice long p.m. nap.

So yes, “more run” is what we did
(I follow his command)
And if I am exhausted now,
I guess you’ll understand.

We also had “more sing,” “more game”
“More book” and every one
Was wonderful but none could match
The joy brought by “more run.”
