Courageous like a stamp

he went his way

tapping softly in his hands

to count his steps

his heart red as a boar

beat beat

like a pink green butterfly

Now and then

he planted a little satin flag

When he had walked a lot

he sat down to rest

and fell asleep

But since that day there have been many clouds in the sky

many birds in the trees

and there's been a lot of salt in the sea

There also have been lots of other things
