10-PARK

PARK

Young children

Jump in and out

Of the sprinkler.

Their bodies and hair

Are wet and their skin

Shines in the Sun.

One day the children

Will grow old

And retire from work.

They will sit

On a park bench

And forget

That they are old,

While the Sun

Glints on the surface

Of a green seesaw

And two children

Climb on it.
