Moments of Clumsy Joy

Faded photographs, memories displayed,

show a kid on a bike, where laughter once played.

A stumble, a crash, mud smeared on my face,

etched on my skin, a mark of my race.


The scar on my arm, a badge of the fun,

a roadmap of youth where I learned how to run.

In the joy of the moment, unburdened by fate,

I trace it with fingers, my clumsiness great.
