He was just a little boy on a week's first day,
He was wandering home from Sunday School and dawdling on the way,
He scuffed his shoes in the grass, he found a caterpillar,
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler."
A bird's nest in a tree o'er head, so wisely placed on high,
Was just another wonder that caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig-zag course and hailed him from the lawn
Asked him where he'd been that day and what was going on.
"I've been to bible school," he said, and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God."
"Very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time,
If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime."
Quick as a flash the answer came, nor were his accents faint,
