Crazy Package 

Tender minds and hot emotions,
fragile bodies, silly notions.

Full of stories, fears and glee,
exaggerations—happily.

Needing care and wanting none,
​their place in life has just begun.

From all that’s evil—innocence.
​Still, the stains of stubbornness.

Crazy package of strange delights,
​baseball bats and ballet tights...

Temper tantrums, hugs and kisses.
​Adult instructions...hits and misses.
