I have never jumped on a trampoline
I wonder how it would be to fly
to hit the bottom then bounce back up
to jump and jump and jump

I have never skied across a lake
frozen over with wintry ice
How wonderful I think it would be
to slide and slide and slide

I have never sped upon water ski’s
salty sea water beneath my feet
A wonderful time like a dolphin skims
to swim and swim and swim.

I have never run through a field of corn
with other children from the farm
To hop around and chase the mice
to run and run and run

I have felt the kindness of a stranger
stopping to hold an open door
Thankful for the occasional chatter
I smile and smile and smile
