They happily played kicked the can as the moon danced over the water street lights coming on at night their laughter getting louder They walked the little yellow lines backward, forwards, racing time leaping, laughing, jumping fun hoping the end would never come They found a dusty plastic lid and threw it fast and low ran, and leaped and screamed and smiled in the way only children know Suddenly the smiles are gone the faces sad and wanting more but the locksmith just arrived at last to unlock the driver side door (happened less than two hours ago!. (grin) but it was wonderful while it lasted) ------------------ Kay-lynn **A dream is a wish your heart makes  [This message has been edited by redwriter1 (edited 08-21-99).] |

That time in life, so childlike is divine. Your poem takes me back in mind. |

Isn't it nice how kids can find the fun even in the worst of situations? They have no worries at all! I liked how I felt I was a spectator watching this, very nicely told with the perfect "mood" & tone! ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |

Yes, even with one skinned knee and socks strewn across the parking lot, it was wonderful, magical and they will never forget it i'm sure, especially the part where they were trying to catch Graham (who is a expert soccer player)!!.. They never saw anyone run so fast!.. hahahah Thank you for your comments, just wanted to share a sweet moment. ... |
