Chasing Rainbow By Judy Underwood
See her
Fun is first nature
Wonderment and exploration
Dancing, twirling, laughing, tripping
See her
She won’t always be this way
Relish in what she delights in
What she marvels at
What she runs to grasp
See her
Keep this image in your heart
Share in it
Join in
Reclaim it yourself
See yourself
Chase a rainbow bubble

Sweet 🙂 They grow up so fast! And we should all strive to retain a little of that childlike wonder.

You spoke to my heart in this one, Stu! Even before I got to the end, I was imagining myself opening my arms in the same way, opening my arms to life. =) I grasped a twofold message in this poem: to really appreciate the moment and to live with more childlike wonder. Thank you so much for the reminder! =)
