Concrete-abstract-symbol

1-29-09 This is a poem where I had to pick an object and write about it. Can you guess what the object is?

Concrete-abstract-symbol

 

When held in a child’s grasp.

It holds an unseen meaning.

When you see their eye’s sparkle

Like a gold mine shining in the light

It sets the soul of you heart on fire

With and unknown feeling that

Brings tears to your eyes. When

You see that child’s face light up

As if it were a brilliant Christmas light

You can’t help but want to give more

Who knew that something so small

Could render such a reaction.

When released from the child’s hand

It takes one bounce and returns to a

Awestruck child. Off the child goes

Down the road bouncing with a smile.

Who knew that little trinket could bring

So much emotion to you and the child

In whom hold it.

Author's Note

The object is a bouncy ball.
