GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS — (in words and photo) CPC “Magic Monday/The Magic of Motion”



GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS

Each day as the sun begins to shine
I go looking for one of my best friends,
the one who is my inner child.
And putting our heads together,
we come up with some plans
to get ourselves moving,
to brighten up our day.

We paint
and we sing
and we write a few words;
we whirl
and we twirl
and we laugh
and we giggle
and we dance
and we dip
and we wave
to the rest of the world
as it passes us by,
for we’re not in a hurry,
my inner child and I.

And we drift with the tides
of the sea and the surf,
the comings and goings
the ups and the downs;
we sway with gentle breezes
while awake and asleep.

And with all of this movement
there’s not much of a chance
for anything to come along
that can upset our day.
