Feeling Light

Like a feather Floating, not flat on the ground with footprints or children's grimy grasping hands Fluttering the battered fibers in the weak wind Like a kite Flying, not frustratingly tangled in a tree with fights or children's tear streaked face pleading For mom or dad or some adult to get the thing free fast Like a child Carried on a loved ones shoulders, an older brother, or sister An Aunt or Uncle Lovingly showing this small one how to reach the stars in the sky Like a soul safe in God's hands
