I want to hear
the sound
of children's feet.
I want to hear
their laughter
as they run
wildly free
into the grass-
so fresh and new
to their
pure and innocent
feet.
I want to hear
their laughter
ring high in the air
like a love song
with a melody and harmony
to embrace
with my own
heart, laughter, and grace.
I want to feel
their arms
wrap around me
as together
we are wild and free
to be ourselves
in a chaotic world
where people
pretend too much
and forget
what it's like
to be real.
I want to feel
this embrace
for eternity
until it's time
for us
to run
wild and free
to meet
their dad
waiting
on the other side
smiling at us
with love and grace.
I want to feel
the grass
below our feet
tickle our souls
as we join
their dad
and together
we run
wild and free
off into a distance
when it's just us
in a world
more divine
than we ever imagined
with God and us.
Together,
we can
join and embrace
to later
run wild and free
with our feet
making that sound...
pitta padder.
