Waggish Ways

Get barefoot and walk on grass
Skip too if you may; enjoy long laughs
            Catch a firefly and watch it glow                                  
Hold it for only a moment and let it go

Get on a bicycle and ride
Be free and don't hide
                Go hug a big, tall tree
Feel the love that it gives freely

Get on a swing and swing high
Listen to the wind sing; try to touch the sky
                    Pick up a ball and pass, bounce, or kick it
Feel the joy, feel the energy, and just play with it

Get your favorite ice cream and sit under a tree just you and your best friend
Share some memories and dare to dream without end

Run or walk and let the wind kiss your face
Smile because you're alive and you still have a purpose in this place
