With The Little Ones

One with them

With children I am crazy.
I play with them brusquely..
I dance with them happily.
I jump with them wantonly.
I talk to them sweetly.
I sleep with them lovingly.
Forgetting my age and size
I become one with them honestly.

It is his privacy, his wealth allows such extravaganzanot any of a concern to the ordinary who wants a roof over […]

It Is Called Life February 20, 2021

It is been a contradiction a meaningless one, just being with each other creates a frustration bringing a dissatisfaction. Tempers rise up with tempestuous acceleration books fly, cups dash on the wall,throwing tantrums at each other the couple swear not to see each other.
