Where the Sidewalk Ends - Shel Silverstein

Sharie Monique Season 2 Episode 76

Where the Sidewalk Ends, By Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
 And before the street begins,
 And there the grass grows soft and white,
 And there the sun burns crimson bright,
 And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
 To cool in the peppermint wind.
 
 Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
 And the dark street winds and bends.
 Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
 We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
 And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
 To the place where the sidewalk ends.
 
 Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
 And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
 For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.


Poems are green and Poetry is mean.
-Poetry Beast

Please accept my endless gratitude,
I'm tickled pink,
You're a gift!
Thank you for your time and attention.
It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.
