In between the hands
Of the two little children
There was a string
The boy held one end
And the girl held the other
As they walked down a path together
A bird snatched the string
And bit it in half
The children got the string back
And tied the two halves together
So the string was one again
As they continued walking
The girl tripped on a rock
The string broke once more
But they re-tied it
And continued their stroll
The farther they traveled
The more their string broke
Until at one point
It had become short
From all the times it was retied
There were many knots in the string
From every time it broke
The two children looked at each other
And two small smiles formed
As they held each other's hands
With the string in the middle
And strolled down the path
