The Trade Deadline

The Trade Deadline

Every year it seems
sports teams have a trade deadline
I rather be a player not the spectator
so I do not know a lot
but this small thought
of trades made me smile


You see
I just made a trade of my own
I traded 100 acquaintances world wide
in return
I got only one person
with the kindest heart and soul
even her team hat, brought me a smile that glows

My team will always be a team of hearts
red with passion, determination
soft with a caress of kindness
in gardens, where flowers are the only weapons

I am tinged with sadness
at humanities loss
I rather one with a voice of love
so as 1000 babies do not have to cry
