Tethered To My Happy
My inner child
That silly self
My mischievous one
The one, who tethers me to my happy
I languish in his joyfulness
He sprinkles stardust in my eyes
I laugh with his exuberance
He says what he thinks
His is the voice of my honesty
Sure, sometimes he gets me in trouble
Occasionally, bursting a bubble
Yet with him, my world is double
He knows how to have fun
I'm getting older but together we run
He sees no limits
So neither do I
He's the reason, I want to try
His imagination, helps me fly
So, I thank my inner child
My portal to happy, my source of wild
He is the very essence of me
The truer part, who sets me free
He does not think, he let's me be
So if you see, a glimmer in my eye
It's most likely, my little guy
He'd love to meet your inner child
The one who's happy, a little wild
Together they have games to play
Don't keep him or her
Locked away
This poem was inspired by a comment I left for Michael Clarke.
