Children Playing

Children playing in the park,
Laughing, swinging, running 'round,
Their rambunctious antics leave their mark,
On adults that relish their joyful sound.

Laughing, swinging, running 'round,
The children have no fears or cares.
By responsibilities they are not bound,
And they are covered by angels' prayers.

The children have no fears or cares,
Their only job right now to play,
On their own, in groups or pairs,
Enjoying this fun-filled summer's day.

Their only job right now to play,
Their rambunctious antics leave their mark.
Enjoying this fun-filled summer's day,
Children playing in the park.

It's a very beautiful Pnatoum Rhyme, So fluent; so flawless. Expresses child-psychology. Congatulations!

Lovely write! I am carefreely playing once again in this old mind. I think God wants this for all of his children -- at all ages -- we just forget.

Lovely Kim. I can see them laughing and playing, chasing each other, floating boats in the pond, flying kites. Such fun. Well done with great imagery. God Bless, JB
