I saw a child running
late to school
such a happy clod
you or I lost
much too deep in thought

We have the much harder task
a trip to self discovery
learning to be satisfied with less
calling less a lot
handling disappointment
being thankful
loving in a random way

please stay in yellow fields
under blue skies
where my lines can find you

Should you find anything utilitarian
please share
we may have to change
because of you I sing
