Gift of Play

Missing image
"What do you do
to play," she asked.
Without hesitation
Just lickity split
My fingers traveled
The keys real quick.
Weather just right
I fly a kite
Or I might
Travel toward heaven
On the seat of a swing
And sing
Whilst aloft
in the key off,
Ride a bike,
Backward walk,
Puddle jump,
Listen to little boy chatter
The subjects of great matter,
Decepticons and Autobots.
Build citites of Lego
Upon a table,
Cuddle and read
Dr. Seuss,
Track a gerbil gone lose.
With Skype
The Net, Webkinz and Wii
Never far away we be
From playful opportunity.
We is me and
My small-fry buddy
My heart's delight
My gift,
The son of my son
My grandson.

    Delightful

    Playful, and such a happy ending. That child will certainly enjoy the child his grandma is. I have a story/poems Dan Man Walking and In The Matter of Meeting Miss Kate, perhaps you can share them with himself, the new prince.

      Thank You

      This was a spot of fun all wrapped up with how I feel about the "new prince." I am trying to get access to Dan Man Walking but All Poetry is telling me I'm not old enough -- LOL. Clearly I have to spend some time and figure out how the All Poetry site works.

    Beautifull written, grandkids can be a real delight and can make you feel like a kid again...they wonder and question and it's so sweet.

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.

      Glad you enjoyed it. It was one of those times when the feelings get in front of the words.

    I think it's wonderful to be a kid again and look at the world through different eyes. Magical to share the innocense with the innocent.
