Oh-So Fast

Spinning, spinning Oh-so fast Giggles, giggles Smiles to last Dizzy and dazed The world catches up to me And I relax amazed At all this energy She can't pause for a second For she knows time's not to waste And so again I am beckoned To swing and spin with much haste Colors fly by and it's all that I see There are no objects, no focus Except for the little hands gripping me I feel at peace in this simple race My only job is to beat the world And put a smile on her angelic face All this simplicity is all that she needs, Dreaming and doing all that she can, Seeing flowers rather than weeds, Making sure that the world can be outran Never thinking past the night Today's her only concern And today she wants to see a sight Of the world at its fastest turn "Faster! Faster!" Oh-so fast Laughter, laughter Smiles to last March 2010
