The Time We Had

the reason my heart goes tip tippy ting ting
is watching a new bird gracefully sing

the reason my soul jolts awake in the dawn
is laughing a hippy caw out on the lawn

the reason for fun in the mid day of school
is flying away, defying the rule

the reason my poems were bouncy and agile
is toughening feet, never too fragile

the reason for music, the days never long
is somehow removed, now utterly gone

the reason I wake up, the reason I sing
is still making my heart go tip tippy ting ting
