He Would Give His Life

SHAAN CHANNAMSETTY

He would give his life to swiftly run through the green grass just to pick that last dandelion, seek for his friend, the grand prize, as he hides behind that tall tree.

Oh, he would give his life to open the window behind the front seat and feel his hair blow on his home street, watch the traffic pile up and drift away on his booster seat.

Oh, he would give his life to smell crayons from pineapple buckets and scribble with them on every sheet, love a girl worth everything and carry no heap of pain along.

Oh, he would give his life to replace pens with colored crayons and those salads with chocolate chip cookies. to run without feeling back pang and kick a ball without a cramp. Oh, how he grieves those golden times now he would kill to give back his life.
