Carefree



Carefree

as we age we become
more
hardened
certainly
more serious

wouldn't it be better
to think carefree
become more playful
act like a child
from time to time

life beats us down
and weighs on us
we are always so serious
we need to be more
carefree

playing with paints
getting our hands dirty
skipping outside
being whimsical
if only
for a moment

the next time you pass
a swing set in the park
try sitting on a swing
letting go
being playful
remember how it used to be
acting childlike


carefree is good
for the spirit
it is food for the soul
if only for 
a moment
