Play in the doh
What Play-doh
Teaches a forty
Year old
Get in there
Make a mess
Have fun
Channel the
Inner child
Let exploration occur
The joy happens
When the creative mind
Is allowed to roam
Without rules
And happiness
Is allowed
To reign supreme
Be the kid
Your adult self
Long abandoned
For responsibility
And caution
Learning that fun
Is not something
To deny yourself
Just because
You are granted
The opportunity
To age
Even if
It is
The greatest privilege
The few
See eighty
Or ninety
Leaving a legacy
That spans generations
Love the journey
For it is
What your pride
Will be rooted in
Forevermore
I get to spend today playing with the grandkids!

ReplyDelete...I have not outgrown making a mess!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think I will make some pastry dough and play in the kitchen with my patty pans! :D
ReplyDeleteMy inner child is frequently the happiest and healthiest part of me.
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts and catering to that little kid inside us keeps one young.
ReplyDeleteyour creative energy is flowing, girl! what a relaxing, fulfilling, joyful way to spend our lives.
ReplyDeleteI loved playing with play-doh when my children (and grandies) were young - now I play with paper and glue and scissors etc, and needle and thread too.
ReplyDeleteCreativity is an important part of our lives, after all we were made in the image of God the Creator.
