A chapter in the book Dear Lexi

Lexi's Playground Experience

by Rdfrdmom2

There’re slides and swings
out on the field
that, for most kids,
great fun would yield
 
And so it was
for just a while
but then a site
brought her a smile
 
Steel bars, she thought,
were made for her
the hemisphere
did not deter
until she found
herself on top
and was unsure
just where to stop –
 
She glanced at me
as if to say
I wonder how
I got this way?
 
I must admit
I had to grin
for I had said
do not begin
unless you know
how it will end
for on my help
you can’t depend –
 
But she knows not
what things to fear
yes, she believes
and makes it clear
because she’s four
she surely can
make hurdles move
for she will ban
all failure from
that mind of hers
consequences
shall not occur
for she proclaims
I will not fail
I shall move on
so do not yell
because you think
that I might break
let me grow up
for goodness sake

Recognized


Lexi prefers playground equipment that poses a challenge, but sometimes she gets in over her head. The reason she could not depend on my help was that I was in an air cast after having extensive foot surgery. I took this picture of her during one of her rare still moments. Thanks for reading.
