God made a world out of his dreams,
of magic mountains, oceans and streams.
Prairies and plains and wooded land,
then paused and thought "I need
someone to stand on top of the mountains,
to conquest the sea, explore the plains
and climb the trees, someone to start out small
and grow sturdy, strong like a tree" and so...

He created boys, full of spirit and fun
to explore and conquer, to romp and run
with dirty faces, banged up chins,
with courageous hearts and boyish grins.

When He had completed the task He'd begun,
He surely said, "That's a job well done."
