Look up child
See the clouds
So far
And yet

Reach up child
Stretch on the tips of your toes
And try to grasp the cotton candy wisps
That float across the sky

Don't cry child
As they sail away so free
Surely to come back again
Tomorrow is another day

The author's comments:
Inspired by a passing cloud, and an even more passing remembrance of childhood...
