Mural

We’re creating a mural,
We all have a part.
You draw a face,
I’ll paint a heart.
She’s making an eagle,
He’s making an otter,
I’m making a bear,
And some fish in the water.
If you make a mistake,
You need not fear.
Turn it into a moose,
Or a goose, or a deer!
There is a flower.
There is a tree.
When we step back,
It’s clear as can be.
This is a painting
Of the world we all share.
A rainbow of color,
Stretching from here to there!
