John Michael Lind in front of the apts

Kids are skating in front
Of the apartment block.
Kids are throwing snowballs too.
They’re wearing hats and mitts,
Scarves flying in the air.
All of those kids out having fun.
It’s such a happy scene.
Someplace we’ve all been.
Someplace we all want to go.
Trees are covered in snow.
There’s people in the buildings I know.
Watching those kids out having fun.
Cars in the parking lot,
Signs up over the doors.
One kid’s holding a shovel.
Where did they come from?
Hope’s imagination.
Those happy kids in the snow.
What does it tell you about,
What’s on the inside out?
All of those kids out having fun.
