(THIS POEM IS ALSO POSTED BELOW IN THE COMMENTS ON PAGE 1.
PLEASE CLICK REPLY & LEAVE BARTO SOME LOVE!)
Come Out And Play
Can you come out and play?
Dance with me in childhood memories
Looking inside as we look around
Finding ourselves in grown up lost and found
No one will understand us
But that is the cost of unconditional love
Smiles that refuse to turn down
Most won't dare what we dream of
People will laugh at our ways
How we could sing everyday,
It's our choice to compensate,
For the easiest things
They could never give away.
Can you come out and play?
Dance with me in childhood memories,
Children running wild and free,
Princes of destiny, Princesses of mystery.
Before you judge, look not down but above,
Look deep inside and ask,
What was it again God's whispered task?
Will you come out and play?
Or will you hide your childhood away?
Can you love such simple things,
Let hope and faith color everything?
Come out and play,
Sing and dance a minute or two,
Find the simplest joys of youth,
When we try, we can fly,
Play and dance across the sky.
Before you judge, look deep inside and ask,
What was it again God's whispered task?
Can you come out and play?
