Listen to poem:
I met my child within, 'Amy'. We talked, we played, we engaged, We looked each other's faces for expressions. We looked into each other's eyes for emotions. I had a lot to learn from Amy. I saw a toy truck in sandpit, Amy saw a 'dooger dooger' bulldozer. I saw a kid, Amy saw a person. I was bound up in multiple layers, Amy was uni-dimensional. I was a novel, Amy was a preface. I tried to make fun, Amy was fun personified, gushing. I was inventive, Amy was curious. I was burdened by past, Amy lived in the moment. I was grown up, Amy was ageless. I was biased, Amy has never heard of it. I was constrained, Amy was forever hopeful, free. Amy and I rejoined, made up, when I clasped my hands together.
