Child of Spirit

1 min read


You are a reckless one, free in the wind

No stuffy libraries, no confining buildings for you

You are an adventurous one, since you were but a kid

Nothing but the open plains, nothing but the gaping seas

 

You seek to feel, to touch, to taste

Any time spent indoors is a waste

Your father shakes his head as you run out instead

And your mother and I exchange looks that say

 

"We had better make sure she lives another day."

 

You are a brave one, perhaps even foolish

You will hunt down, strike down, the orcs most ghoulish

You are a bright one, the light dazzles in your eyes

The only time you are mature is when your siblings need advice

 

You seek to love, to laugh, and to be free

You walk the long earth in explorations of glee

Your father loves you, though you are a firecracker

Your mother shakes her head, you have made her age faster

 

But oh, you cherished as a child of spirit.
