Jadaya and Peroxide Sunday
peroxide time
little jadaya skinned her knee
there are a few tears
there are a couple of 'ow's
there are even a few jumpy flinches
once the feeling passes, however, the kneepads go on, and it is back to it
i become a smiling hater and wish that i still had jadaya's energy
nevertheless, i had my time, and now it is her turn
i like my era of childhood better anyway
one day jadaya will say the same
in the meantime, i just shake my head, smile, and keep my ears and eyes open
oh, and the peroxide, along with the old school band aids, will be waiting alongside me
