Lines of Play

A chalk line drawn fresh, crisp on the field,

a boundary defining where dreams are revealed.

Kids rush on forward, their laughter alive,

as dust dances upward, their spirits will thrive.

In play, we learn lessons, in sweat, we define

the moments of freedom when all is aligned.

Yet each chalk line whispers of limits we make,

between joy and the serious, in laughter, we break.
