In My Garden - Johathan David

Jonathan David, 1961 Cindy and Jon, 1981

Jonathan David
"Higher, higher!", you chant
As Daddy's arms swing you higher and higher
Into the sky.
Not content to let your feet touch earth,
You seem always to be reaching for the stars,
Not content with just sitting now,
The rocking chair must go faster, faster!
Hurrying in dreams toward tomorrow.
Little boy, why are you in such a hurry?
The freckles span your face
Beneath a tousled blond head
Your eyes say, "I love you, but hold me not fast
For I have a great world to conquer."
