Child's Play

They stretched out their arms Ran with the wind A circular flight No beginning – to end When they came back Sat down to a snack Then took a quick spin Around the racetrack Onlookers wondered What would it be like To do all those things From the seat of a bike To fly like a kite On the end of a string Climb in a tree Join the bird's sing Hide in tall grass Become a small bug Say goodnight to a bear then give it a hug

glad you enjoyed it Gershon. My sense is that you still have a bit of the "kid" in you
