A Little Child

Do you have a wish

little one-

it’s mommy &

daddy holding you

in their arms

loving & kissing you.

Would you like to go

for a little hike

on a country trail

with your bare feet in

the cool grass &

the mosquitoes

tickling your toes?

Would you like

to watch a squirrel

go around & around

the tree until you

almost fall down

from being dizzy

& go Boom!
