Colin Mitchell Williams Poet Free verse

Child's Play

Child's Play


Bouncing around on burbled bubbles
Balloons surprising
Tiny fingers
Toddles sweet innocence
Giggling
With delighted glee

Sun shaft alights 
Bright through windows
Lands on the carpet
A golden ball
For wondered excitement
Laughs aloud

And to my amazed eyes
My daughter
Rushed tottering over
Picked up this nonchalant tossed sun pool
And threw the light
Back to the skies

Michael Jordan February 16, 2009 at 1:50 PM Colin this poem is quite simply precious - our children are truly amazing in their capacity to to comprehend way more than we would ever guess and to forgive more than we ever could - My daughter teaches me things everyday - God Bless, MJ
