But he will

 

Being aware that our time on the playground is limited

doesn’t really add to the fun.

Understanding that some of us fall off the monkey bars

might add a little fear, but it doesn’t

keep us away.

Knowing my friend, as I do,

having seen him climb the ladder

only makes me sad

that he is now sliding downhill quickly.

I’ll never hear the bell

announcing the end of recess.
