Of European Goldenrod

Taylor J. Norris

Once I have climbed

So high I need to rest,

I look over and

See you there.

Your bright faces

Smile over at me

As I take a seat

And have a snack,

I see you have

Some friends

The bees,

The ants,

The beetles,

All helping you

Spread your joy

Around the mountain.
