Reaching out, the playful baby
discovers his little foot.
What a curiosity,
somehow it is connected
to ten wiggly little toes.
Squeals of laughter erupt,
he has found a new toy
as his small world expands.
As adults we have lost our wonder
and excitement about this life.
Trapped by deadly routines,
we plod through each day.
Always looking forward
to something better,
which will surely come.
Won't it?
