Which Way Should I Go?

I could go to the beach

and run my toes through the sand

I would gather seashells

close at hand

I could watch the tide come in

with its mighty roar 

and crash upon the rocks 

when it hits the shore

I could look up at the sky 

and see the seagulls flying by

I could wave at the sailboats passing by

I could go to the city

Where the bright lights are pretty

and the tall buildings 

reach to the sky

I could walk down the street

Some people I'd greet

and have some pizza pie

I could peek in the stores

with their great big doors

as far as I could see

I could press my nose upon the glass

very cautiously

I could go to the park

where the dogs run and bark

and the grass grows green all around

Where the kids run outside

and take turns on the slide

and play on the merry-go-round

From a bench I could see

all the leaves on the tree 

turn their colors when it becomes chill
