For the Love of Play

A collage I created recently 

with some words I wrote about it.

When I was a child I learned to play.

I learned it well.

It was at times all encompassing.

As we grow older we sometimes forget how to play.

  But play brings joy, and so I let my inner child out.

I jump, I skip, I twirl and spin,

I tear up paper, scribble, and splash some paint around.

Joyful, playful times.

 Seeing children at play, I smile,

 wishing them lifetimes worth of play filled days.

I close my eyes to see a world

filled with the love of play.
