Feeling Light

Like a feather
Floating, not flat on the ground with footprints or children's grimy grasping hands
Fluttering the battered fibers in the weak wind
Like a kite
Flying, not frustratingly tangled in a tree with fights or children's tear streaked face
pleading 
For mom or dad or some adult to get the thing free fast
Like a child
Carried on a loved ones shoulders, an older brother, or sister
An Aunt or Uncle
Lovingly showing this small one how to reach the stars in the sky
Like a soul safe in God's hands
