Notes About The Poem

Free as can be

the sun the wind the freedom
as surface childish passions
the urge to be adventuresome
expectation of lollipop rations

nothing holds me back
when i hear summer’s call
you’ll laugh at the silly jokes i crack
while swinging high and tall

i squint my eyes
and look up at the skies
youth seeming omnipresent
timeless and filled with wonderment
