Playing

This piece captures a soft childhood memory filled with imagination and innocence. Set beneath a pink powder puff tree, it reflects a world of pretend play, dolls, makeup, and quiet joy. Using everyday moments like coloring cheeks, sharing cookies and tea, and playing with Teddy and Comet, the poem brings to life the magic children create when they’re lost in their own little world.

The imagery is warm and sensory—from the sparkle of powder like gold dust to the sweet scent of lime raspberry wine—evoking feelings of comfort, creativity, and simpler times. This poem turned to song celebrates childhood imagination, friendship, and make-believe, where time slows down and play lasts for hours.
