If We Were All Little Children

this poem is for my two best friends I have known since childhood

If we were all little children

and the playset was waitin

I'd race you to the swings

end up trippin and holdin my knee with a new owwie

you would double back

kneel down

and plant a big kiss that were usually reserved for puppies and daddies

with booboos gone

we resume our play

swing as high as the sky

eyes closed

and pretend we are birds

Juice boxes are fancy

when pinkies fingers are raised in our little princess tea parties

and popsicals

though melty

are the best in the world

~~~

If we were all little children

Our baking is done the natural way

with lil chubby fingers mixing dirt from mommy's garden

and water from the hose

we make mudpies

with grass clippings

flowers

and bugs as toppings

they bake in the summer sun

and we run around in the hose

making it rain

even though we can see the sun

~~~

If we were all little children

I would take the courage to look under your bed for monsters

I would protet you from the big kids

I would share my cookie with you

I would kiss away your owwies

If we were all little children

I would be your best friend

just like I am now
