Jack

You’re golden; blonde-haired and boisterous
A bouncy castle, fizzy penny sweets and floating bubbles
Everyone will join in.

You’re a chocolate ice cream grin, an infectious giggle
A Lego tower built for adventure stretching into a bright sky
Everyone wants to play.

You’re a football in the garden, a sunny park runabout
Tripping the light fantastic in too-large shorts and wellies
Everyone starts to dance.

You’re a tiny car pushed around the patterns of a carpet
An unexpected cuddle, a blessing, a lesson on what really counts:
Everyone is a child.
