Words
Words our children going out into the world
Seeking recognition seeking to be loved
Each one with its own individuality
Romantic, funny, emotional, dark, sage or sad
Reaching out to touch all they meet
Coquettish, shy, witty or with deep hidden dark
Racing hither and thither all over the place
Some will settle down in a quiet hearth and home
Others will be ignored and casually set aside
A few betrayed and scoffed and ridiculed
But at least they have the courage to go
In search of a kindred soul and reach out in hope
Dancing, dancing to the tune of life
Alive, Oh so much alive in a world of their own creation.
