Don’t Be Koi
A pool full of fish
Bright yellows, greens, and reds
Two boys marvel at their dance
Can we go for a swim?
Magic waters at hand
So close to their fingertips
So far from their hands
They wanted so badly to swim
They could taste the joy of the magic waters
So close, yet so far.
Marvel I said, enjoy and respect what you see,
a gift to your eyes and imagination
a hope for tomorrow.
Enjoy little ones say hello to the koi
Maybe someday you’ll swim in such colors.
Be surrounded by such joy
Imagine big dreams, of yellows, reds and greens
I will do my best to guide you
I will show you what life has in store
As hard as tomorrow might seem
at this very moment, do as the koi do, dance free, sing…
freely dream.
