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
