PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Two children on the playground swinging together 

playing catch

It didn’t matter to them one iota

that their genders and colors didn’t match.

They sat together once they finished playing

and as tenderly as can be

she leaned over and gently

placed her head upon his knee

And as he softly placed his arm around her shoulder

with her head upon his knee

I thought:

how wonderful if only we could see

the world these children see.
