Two Children
Two children on the playground swinging together
playing catch
It didn’t matter to them one iota
that their genders and colors didn’t match.
They sat together once they finished playing
and as tenderly as can be
she leaned over and gently
placed her head upon his knee
And as he softly placed his arm around her shoulder
with her head upon his knee
I thought:
how wonderful if only we could see
the world these children see.
