Juggling - For Deirdre and Liam
Juggling with kids is hard work
I mean, you two have so much energy
you too
I love it
But I can feel the pain in my
what are those muscles in my legs?
Tossing one kid to the next
like a pair of socks
bouncing balls so far we have to find them
running
As we laugh at every toss, every miss
again and again I hear a giggle
another giggle, sometimes a "sorry!"
there is nothing to be sorry about
I'm in shoes, she's in socks
pretty socks at that
D's socks we throw at each other
are Deirdra's too
Liam's bare foot
is tough enough to stand agains the wall
Your laughs, our laughs
at every toss and catch
one two
ev'ry 5 seconds
for an hour maybe more
adds up to hundreds or thousands
of laughs, giggles, I'm sorries
and I hope for many more
