Time as a Child


Skipping merrily through tall blades of grass
Showering in the sprinkler’s wetness
Gliding along lakes of shimmering glass
Giggling gaily in mid-summer bliss
Jumping into piles of freshly raked leaves
Jogging for miles when the school bus is missed
Saying your prayers late at night on your knees
Sleeping already as your cheek is kissed

Going faster and faster while sledding
Guiding your blades on the lake that’s now ice
Jesting with snowballs, aid and abetting
Joking about how the rain sure is nice
Seeing the first flowers of the season
So the year goes by without reason
