Whimsical Games

What if I am in midlife,

I believe in keeping the

subconscious, subpersonality

inner child alive.

For if she is happy,

I am on the right path,

I will also thrive,

So I take the plush toys

to the backyard garden,

on summer afternoon.

As the sun is setting,

I play make-believe games:

A concert setting, by

the hollyhock patch

Tiger plays the music

friends watch in interest,

cheering on his tunes,

giving confidence boost.

Then they sit together,

share tea, food and talk,

discuss life philosophy,

they feel secure and happy.

Whimsical games are fun,

it helps improve compassion,

a connection to childhood,

the inner child feels good.
