Bubbles
I saw a bubble floating
Softly in the air.
I did not know from where it came
Or who had sent it here.
The mighty wind's invisible hands
Caressed it on its way.
Flowing with the gentle breeze
It danced and played all day.
I wanted to reach out to it
And in my hand to take,
So cautiously I approached it
And hoped it would not break.
But when I tried to touch it
As tenderly as I dare,
Just then my eyes did blink
And no longer was it there.
I cried for I couldn't help
That which I had done.
But looking up once again
I noticed there was another one.
This time I dare not touch it
And again it did dance and play,
But as I sat and watched it,
It slowly drifted away.
It hurt me even more this time
And once again I cried,
For it was too late I realized
I should at least have tried.
I was thinking that I'd never get
Another chance to try,
When to my great astonishment
A third one floated by.
So once again I had a chance,
I simply reached out my hand,
And guided by the gentle breeze
That's where it came to land.
I watched it as it laid there
In my outstretched hand,
And for the first time in my life
I did understand.
