YO-YO

Life is a yo-yo -

up and down,

up and down….
Rock the cradle....

Walk the dog....

Around the world....

Sometimes there are knots,

and sometimes yo-yos are left

on a kid’s bureau, then slide

into the top drawer,
forgotten for a while - 

only to be picked up again
in another season… some 

other time.  Amen.
