Ten Million Joys

Just today, I blew 10 million bubbles
and jumped in a pile of 10 million leaves
and when it rained, I splashed in 10 million puddles
and when I played, I skinned 10 million knees

Just today, I sang 10 million jubilant songs
wished on 10 million dandelions
I rode 10 million miles on my bike with no hands
and I made up 10 million new rhymes

Just today, I smiled 10 million smiles
and laughed 10 million laughs
today, I enjoyed my child's one childhood
and forgot that my own has passed
