blue skies and big smiles


What is it about blue skies
and the way they seem to call you outside?
The white wisps of cloud just beg to be chased.
And we like to chase them all the way to the park.



We climb up the steps with determination
and finally, for the very first time,
make it up them alone
ready to slide back down to earth again.


We realise we can scale climbing walls
which had previously been reserved for 'big boys only',
and it makes us so proud that we can hardly believe we've done it.


We fly up high on the swings,
so high it feels like we could touch those wispy clouds.


We smile,
we laugh,
we squeal to be pushed even faster
and even higher.


We enjoy new rides
with great excitement,
and the fun of sharing an adventure.


We laugh uncontrollably 
and long to stay until bedtime.
And we hope that the blue skies are here to stay
so we can enjoy adventures like this every day.

  30. I think what you posted made a ton of sense.
    However, consider this, what if you typed a catchier post title?
    I am not saying your content isn't solid, however suppose you
    added something that makes people want more? I mean "blue skies and big smiles" is a little boring.

    You might look at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news titles to
    grab people interested. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything've written.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
