Banners Fly

Verse

Let the bells ring out and the banners fly!

Feast your eyes, all passersby!

Across the land, through hill and glade,

We sought the prize the hiders made.

Verse

Through tangled brush and shaded wood,

We followed clues the best we could.

Each step a story, each trail a test,

But we pressed on and gave our best.

Verse

The compass spun, the arrow led,

Through rustling leaves and paths we tread.

A secret place, both small and sly —

At last, the cache! Our spirits high!

Verse

We signed our names with pride and flair,

A mark to prove that we were there.

No treasure greater could compare,

Than joy of hunt and open air.

Verse

So let the bells ring far and near,

And banners wave for all to hear.

For though the find may fade from sight,

Its memory burns with steady light.

Verse

The log is sealed, the tale is great —

Another quest for phoenixnate!
