Can't take the CHILD out..



I see a child…


When I fight the little useless battles

When I hold on to that one small “toy” of an idea for life


When I cry over the little losses

When I pride over the small victory


When I peer into a fish tank with wide eyes

When I learn a new trick from a friend


When I terrify over a tiny to-do

When I worry myself to tears over some ‘spilt milk’


When I ‘group’ into comfort circles

When I ‘divide’ away what seems different


When I curiously learn a new thing every day

When I joyously laugh over a cup of coffee


When I still look for a motherly hug

At the end of a long long adult day


I can’t seem to take the child out of me

From my adult days, struggles and nights
