AsAdults (to All of You)

In the

Age of

Stress

It’s

Important

To

Remember

Those

Carefree

Days

Of

See-saws

and

Swings

and

Sandboxes

and

Recreate

Them

As

Adults

Simply

You’re

Real job

Is

Elementary

Joy

Cherished

Remember

The most

Precious

Things

Are

Buried

Beneath

Others

Shine

From

Within

Eventually

You will

Be

Unearthed

And

Cherished

On

Breezes

Mixing

With

Mornings

Birdsong

If only

Every

Morning

Could be

This

Morning

True

To be

True

Is a

Wheel

Balanced

Infinitely

Spinning

By

Minimal

Locomotion

So are

We

With

A small

Nudge

We

Soar

And

There

Move

Thus

Propelling

Others

By

Invisible

Wind

Now (to Mark)

We live

In the

Idea

That we

Are

Permanent

But

We are

Simply

Temporary

The only

Task

We are

Charged with

Is

Grabbing

Life
