A Poem - Off the Top of my Head

Another Good Day?

If I were tip-toeing through the garden
And the trees were whispering in my ear
I'd stop to dance and twirl in the sunlight
And wish for fairies in the air.

I'm not such a poet that I always need to rhyme.
Sometimes I feel my heart soar with joy.
At moments I cry when the world floods around me,
And I wish for the garden of fluttery friends
To start me dancing once again.

I am merely a child
In my heart, with years of woe.
I am mature in ways 
That only He can know.

And here I am, wishing
With my coin in hand.
Must I tip-toe tomorrow
Or will moments be passed
Swimming through it all?
It has been a long time since I wrote a poem.  Literally years.  Not sure what came over me.  I came to the computer to write about the joy I felt this morning when I stepped on the scale.  It was a glorious feeling to see the numbers so "small".  

Yet instead, I found myself writing a poem.  It just poured out of me from nowhere at all.  And interestingly enough, I don't even know what it's about.  HA!  No matter, I'm happy to words fly to the page.  I won't be so bold as to judge whether it's good or bad.  I'm just happy to know that it exists and came from me!
