A Poem - ""Finding Play"

Introduction to the poem: I actually wrote this poem on August 18, 2014 - a wet and rainy day during our family's third summer at the Dorje Denma Ling Family Camp in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, Canada.  I recently re-discovered the handwritten poem and remembered that I had been asked to share it .  Here is the transcribed and slightly updated version.  I couldn't help but update a few of the words - a scribe is never truly finished revising - it is all a work in progress)...

 

Finding play when it's nice is easy
so many things to choose
but when the weather's not so nice
the chance in mine to lose

 

I find play catching drizzle
or dancing in the rain
I make music in the puddles
or sing to a hurricane

 

I can find play in the faintest breeze
and in the gale that blows
there is fun to find in whatever comes
be it hail or rain or snow

 

There's no secret to finding play
it lives wherever I happen to be
the weather will do what the weather will do
but I do have control over me

All for me for now - Take gentle care,

Sue & family
