The Kids AT The Park

A poem I dedicate to all the beautiful children of the world.

Sometimes I like to be alone, take a walk, and go to the park.

I enjoy watching the children run wild just before dark.

It never fails to amaze me the energy they have, seems they can go forever, can't say the same for their moms or their dads.

They jump, roll, yell, and scream, choose up sides to make a team. Kickball, jumprope, and hiding-seek, how do they find time to sneak a treat?

They're on the go until almost dark, ah yes, the kids! I love the park.

When I was a kid we would play out in the piney woods along the many slues and creeks that meandered through our world. We turned an abandoned mill into a fort and had the time of our lives. Thanks for reminding me of that this day.

You say it so well. The child in each one of us yearns to run in the park after reading your lines. Thank you.

Nice one, Victoria.
Believe it or not, I've met people who actually don't like kids and who refer to them in contemptuous terms, such as "ankle biters."
Maybe people like that should walk in the park more often, particularly on a sunny Spring day when its ambience is made more joyful by the presence of kids at play! Or, alternatively, they should get the experience vicariously by reading this charming, evocative poem.

if only we could bottle that energy

this was a fun read
it also seemed to have a sense of foreboding realizing not only good people view the Kids at the Park and watch them before dark-

thanks,
donna.
