Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Friendly Map Walk Song 045
Song promise: Aydin and Aleea use familiar landmarks, not an official map, to choose a gentle way around one small living thing.
The part everyone joins: “See the turn; leave the trail clear.”
Lyrics
Aydin hears the lane stones crunching.
Aleea sees the willow turn.
Aydin asks, “Which way stays open?”
Aleea says, “The bend by the ferns.”
See the turn; leave the trail clear.
Step around what is growing here.
Look, then choose the gentler way.
Leave some room along the trail.
In the clover, one snail is resting
where the narrow footprints meet.
Aleea points beside the shell.
Aydin moves his careful feet.
See the turn; leave the trail clear.
Step around what is growing here.
Look, then choose the gentler way.
Leave some room along the trail.
Golden sun patches look like map marks.
Clover leaves pretend to point.
Make-believe trail lines curl beside them,
then the breeze stirs every leaf.
On firefly hill, the path grows wider.
Aydin moves one fallen stick.
Aleea watches where he places it:
off the trail, beside one shrub.
See the turn; leave the trail clear.
Step around what is growing here.
Look, then choose the gentler way.
Leave some room along the trail.
Earth-Care Tag
Notice what the pathway carries.
Choose one action that is small.
Move what is safe; leave living things.
Keep the trail open as you go.
