May the Child In All of Us Live To Play Another Day

I believe the child in us wants to come out to play in our own special way where we can be cherished and loved In such caring way So let us pray that day comes our way soon . To many moons have passed us by Since our hearts were stuck on high It seems like we were just getting started When we found ourselves saying goodbye As hard as I try to get by without you, by my side, I still, keep coming up with why . The harder I try to let it fly The more it just makes me want to cry I'm not one to pry or ask why I'm the kind of guy who is going to play it wise Oh, my Lord to my surprise as I open my eyes Our day is here neither one of us needs to fear As long as we keep our love in high gear As it lights up our love year after year We should enjoy the ride as it puts our life in stride There is so much to come As everything gets into a full glide When our hearts will no doubt collide When we come out on the other side Our life will be filled with so much pride Then the child inside of us Will be released to come out to play In our own special way today, and always I pray Because soon you will be on your way to stay So we can play every day in our own way

Such an important theme, Jack! "The child in us" is the key to everything, really, isn't it? We are our best selves, we learn best, we respond to others best, when that 'child' comes out. And interestingly, it's the good child that will come out when we're adults---not the "bad one" we all were on occasion (except the saints, of course). At any rate, I really enjoyed this one. Nice thought; nice poem! ~ gershon
