Play

by little Sammie

Take me with you

I don't care

where we go.

Let's just run

far away

just you and me though.

Let's be children

again

I want to play

and dance.

I'll color you a picture

of London or France.

No stress,

no pain,

making funny faces,

laughing again and again.

Just telling jokes.

two friends

uninhibited

no worries about

unreciprocated desires

no jealousy

between you and me.

Just us

no fear or fright

reclaiming our

lost youth

that they took from us

one night.

I'll let you be Lucy

and I'll be Charlie Brown.

We'll be happy

and peaceful

with no reason to frown.

So take my hand in yours

and let's go and play

no time like the present

let's do it today!

For Fun

    Lucy and Charlie work for this like Calvin and Susie. LMAO. A lovely poem Sam. We all feel this way sometimes. Just leave it all behind and live in a happy bubble of memory.

    Great reminder. Great job

  • Michelle Liew Tsui-Linabout a year ago

    Sadly, we lose that sense of innocence - something that we need for comfort - as adults. Poignant, Sam.

  • We don't stop playing when we get old, we get old when we stop playing. Great poem
