Arguments and Rants
I used to walk the playground during recess
Listening to the laughter
And saw the stars twinkled and glowed in their faces.
Running, jumping, climbing, swinging,
And sliding in the rain,
Wind, snow, and sunshine.
Always made my day cheerful and bright.
However,
There was much more going on, than just fun.
Some would have bad days,
Putting a smile was my job;
It would go a long way,
Hoping it was there
Until the end of the day.
Some
Accepted silence,
Others conversation.
Arguments and rants would start.
One didn't need to anticipate their behavior.
They always came as a ray of sunshine.
They knew when one cared,
They'd come around with trust and no fear.
Teaching them to settle disputes
By talking or just turning and walking away.
