Green Vistas The children run beneath a sky That's filled with puffy clouds and I Following at a slower pace, Enjoy the sunlight on my face. The winter has been hard and long, But now we hear the robin's song And climb a hill so we can see Green vistas stretching endlessly Away from us and here the breeze Brings scent of flowers; buzz of bees. I watch the children as they range. I'm thinking of the way things change. Remembering another day, When I too was a child at play. Was I exuberant as these And did I laugh as loud and tease? In looking back, I can't recall That I had this much fun, at all! Betty Lou Hebert Published by Children's Advocacy 2001 [This message has been edited by Trillium (04-04-2002 03:34 PM).] |

human nature is funny. we always seem to think other people are having more fun than we are. ( I know they are! ) as usual your rhyme flows in near flawless rhythm. I'm jealous...  |

Following at a slower pace I love walking with the grandkids. It is wonderful to watch them run and play. Thanks, Melton |

Lovely, lovely poem! I knew when I read the title I was going to enjoy this. Nice imagery, that brings to mind memories of carefree playing. We need to become like children again and enjoy the simple, but beautiful things that surround us. Deb |
