When you ask for help
Sometimes it comes right away
Other times you wait
But just when you want to quit
A door opens in response

Arms flung wide open
Laughter and shrieks of delight
Running in circles
Swimming pools and playground swings
School is out and summer’s here

You are a star heart
The very center of light
Shining from your core
So bright your glow from within
You are never in the dark

I promise myself
To know there’s always a chance
For the sun to shine
This keeps me going through storms
Provides hope for each new day

Did you hear something
When you were not listening
Were doors opening
Innocent conversations
Leading to light bulb moments

Oh, give me a poem
With no shaving foam
And a great library book to read
Where often I find
Lost parts of my mind
And the secret place where the cat peed

Took it long enough
Dirt was taking over now
Must use the vacuum
