A Poem

Written in the morning on Friday, April 7, 2000

By Christopher, et al (Judi’s inside people)

Close down little one,

Look close and see the sun.

Puffs of clouds look your way,

Drops of rain, nothing to say

By and large the world is ours,

You can tell in the eyes of flowers,

Trek the trails both high and low,

Look behind you as you go.

Passion whips us and we nod,

Save the child and hide the rod,

Shuffling nowhere we sit and ponder,

Letting thoughts pause and wander.

Cannot see you but you know

From our hearts our love doth flow,

Show me sides of you that hide,

The ones down deep that do abide.

By all the orders and carry out,

Let them dance, sing, roar, and shout!

They won’t hurt you or others still,

It’s not in us to do or kill.

Becoming one but staying all,

Let them jump the iron wall.

Shake their hands and kiss their cheeks,

They’ve wanted you to for weeks.

They stand back while you go forth,

Let them know what all they’re worth;

Grab the paintbrush paint the town,

Sing the song don’t let them down.

We shall triumph one and all,

And through this means, we learn to crawl.

Forward forward up the stairs,

No looking back and no bewares.

All for one and one for all;

Celebrate now, don’t fear recall.
