Children

children
 
children
they bring 
neon rings 
of vitality 
to our family life
 
they make us sing 
silly dragon songs 
of joy and sunshine
 
their piles and piles 
of colorful and 
musical toys bring 
smiles to my lips
 
their whimsical 
music and wavy 
dance makes me 
want to shake my hips
 
their starry dreams 
and lazy wishes makes 
me float away with them
 on their wooden pirate ships
to soar away and be 
the hero like Peter Pan
 
their childish ways 
and prankster tricks 
remind me of my 
prior friendships at school
 
children bring gusts 
and gales of the freshest 
salty wind to my 
stale and 
stagnant 
life

Children sure add joy to life with ability to appreciate the little things we often take for granted. You have me smiling with this one. Reminds me a bit of my own childhood. Keep on writing. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen
