here is a Jumping Feeling in my chest
My soul is doing jumping jacks
warming up for backflips and summersaults
That I'm Alive
That its summer, that it is green
that my enemies are few and my friends are many
that my family is loving and my community supportive
That i know so much and yet so little
That i can feel my toes
and smell through my nose
and make childish rhymes and noises and ideas
and not be embarrassed about it
I'm joyful for peanut butter on a spoon
or an apple or a banana
and tuna fish with mayonnaise
and chocolate chip cookies with milk at the end of a sad day
and hot chocolate on a cold one
I'm joyful because music can change my mood
and books can take me away
and i want to be famous
but i'm joyful because I'm not
The world is uncertain, and answers are few
but my soul is smiling
so i must be doing something right.
