"For a Day"
"For a Day"
Today I'm all yours
I have dishes to clean
and jeans
clothes to be put away
and so many bills and papers
to sort and to store in their
proper drawers and places
but today, anyway,
today,
I'm all yours.
So, let's go to the playground!
You can slide down the slide,
or we can sit in the sun
if you like
for a while
side by side.
because when I grow grey
and you learn to fly
no longer a child
I want to remember
these warm summer days
when I didn't put those clothes away
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
