{Clouds in the Park}
I am
Walking effortlessly
Through the clouds in the sky
That ocean of blue
Hopping from cloud to cloud
Tickled
By the flower petals
Lifted to meet me in the sky
I am
Carried by the light
The summer breeze
Effortlessly lifted
But heavily grasped
By the unfallen rain
I am the sigh the children breathe
As they lay on the grass in the park
Watching the clouds go by
I am
The silent smile
That dances on a parent’s lips
As they listen to their child
Read
Them their favorite book,
Stumbling,
But reading nonetheless
I am
The love
Never spoken
But felt
And I am
The unshed tears
Of a love
That should have been spoken
Because it never knew
What was felt
I am the sigh
Of the children laying on the grass
At the park
Watching the clouds go by
I am
The water brimmed eyes
Of the mother
Taking her child to college
The guilt stabbed heart
Of the daughter
Because she knows
She’s leaving her mother home alone
But,
I am
Love
The hope for a greater good
The joy and happiness
Of a successful child
I am
Hellos
Goodbyes
The please stays
And the
Please go aways
I am
The I’m leaving you
The he’s gone
The she’ll get better
And the
I can finally breathe
I am hope
I am
The happy
And the sad
That comes with it
I am
The sighs
Of the children
Laying on the grass
Hoping for the clouds to go by
