Tumble and Turn

Wish, wash.
Tumble, roll.
Spin, turn.
Wrinkle, smooth.
Fly, dry.
Life is like a washing machine,
you come out clean and sparkly,
soft and scented,
ready to take on the world.
But as life puts you in the drying machine,
you tumble and fumble,
shrink and wrinkle.
Wear and tear.
You go out in the world,
get dirt on your face,
get tired and worn.
Then you go back in
the washing machine.
To tumble and roll,
spin and turn.
Clean and new,
you come out fresh,
ready to take on the dryer.

I learned how to do the laundry today, and was inspired!
