“Interference”

Butterflies and finger-paints.

Snacks and toys and paper planes.

Hide n’seek, imaginary friends,

Where’s the line when childhood ends?

 

Stepped on toes,

Raw runny nose.

Stomped storm puddles,

happy hug huddles.

 

Who am I to interfere?

With the joy of children here.

Chaos reigns and order wanes,

able adventurous sponge-like brains.

 

The mystery of life is known,

until adults get you alone.

As time goes by the magic leaves,

leave those kids alone, please.

 

Leave those kids alone!

 

Please!

      Thank you, Julia. A small thing for an adventure of a lifetime. I never know if I am doing the right thing, but so want to. 🙂
