I walked down a path on a dark scary night
There was not even one tiny bit of light.
Creaking and cracking was all I could hear
Oh yikes! What if it's a large hungry bear?
I could not see anything in sight
I tried and tried with all of my might!
Carefully I walked very gently and slow
But I just wanted to run quickly and go!
My heart was beating, I was ready to fight
This was really giving me a terrible fright!
Finally, at last the end of the path
I was so relieved, I let out a laugh.
Next time when I walk down a path at night
I will definitely remember to bring a flashlight!
