Poem: We Might As Well Skip

you’re walking too fast
slow down so i can keep up

you’re walking beside me now
so we might as well hold hands

and since we’re holding hands
we might as well skip

since we’re skipping and holding hands
now we gotta sing!

About this poem
Recently, a friend and I talked about how kids (ourselves and all kids) need that cozy, fun feeling from their parents. We talked about adding holding hands with her daughter into their morning routine. She tried it, and that transformed everything!
