In the Play

Run on the grass, chase games, picnic times
Neath summer sun, memory chimes
Bare footed brand new friends are running heart made just found
Days bright now into whispered sounds

Wonder if it’s all in the play?
Todays, tomorrows, yesterdays
Rough and tumble, take the hind most, come what may
All found in the play

Stretched, scraped, battered, re-made and re-sculpted
Playing devil’s advocates consulted
Summer sun and soft green grass still there somewhere
Best selves played by ear start to tear

Wonder if it’s all in the play?
Todays, tomorrows, yesterdays
Rough and tumble, take the hind most, come what may
All found in the play

What’s the best part, do look beneath
You’ve finally lost the plot’s thread, first remember, then stop and breathe

Wonder if it’s all in the play?
Todays, tomorrows, yesterdays
Rough and tumble, take the hind most, come what may
All found in the play
