i will play












sunny days
cloudy days
days of
sleet or snow
i will play

up a tree
under a rock
beside the
sparkling stream
i will play

dusty chalk
messy paints
with paper
stamps & ink
i will play

on the road
nikon in hand
in shadow
or in light
i will play


young at heart
slowing down
graying at
the temple
i will play

happy heart
full of hope
at peace
with who i am
i will play

Lovely poetry and a gentle reminder that we are never too old to play, that the world is our playground and is filled with wonderful "toys". Fantastic photos also !

I love this poem and the photos that go with it are good. Osage fruit are marvelous textures.

BEAUTIFUL! the images and the words! You are SO YOUNG! My favorite verse is the one about the Nikon in hand! That's GREAT! Because yes, for those of us who LOVE taking pictures, our Nikon is our toy!!!
