Chapter One
The Brook in the Meadow
In this writer's imagination lives
Genji and her Shadow.
They liked to go exploring each day
near the brook in the meadow.
Genji was just six years old and
the dog was maybe ten.
Everywhere the little girl went, on Shadow
being there you could depend.
So they wandered far and near,
this little girl and her dog.
On their more adventuresome days
they even crossed over the log.
On the other side of the brook there
were many wonders to explore ...
whether a lady bug, or a pretty flower,
these two never asked for more.
They sometimes chanced to find a
lizard or another time a bunny.
Just watching the girl and dog chasing after
either of them could be very funny!
They lived with her Mama, Papa and little
Benjy in a cabin at the edge of the trees.
As long as they stayed in her Mama's sight,
they could wander as they please.
So that's the way they spend their days,
this little girl and her Shadow,
exploring all the things God put there for them
to find near the brook in the meadow.
