My Journey
Hi! My name is Paddle to the Sea.
As soon as I hit the water of the Sand Hill River
I was off on my journey.
The first ten miles of my journey were as calm as the ocean.
On my way to the Red River I saw a posse of wolves.
They were feasting on a dead deer.
A cougar tried to get a wolf pup for its dinner,
but the wolf pack protected the pups.
The common loon was coming home from the winter freeze,
They looked happy to be home.
I got stuck in the ice when the next winter came,
but luckily for me, a man who was gathering maple sap to make maple syrup helped me on my way.
He moved me to where the water was slushy.
I moved as fast as the flash,
The journey was almost over
As I flowed into Hudson Bay.
The fish leaped so high, it was like they were flying!
My journey has been complete!
Now I can travel the world.
