Ode to Four

Oh to be four
When the world is such fun
When your biggest complaint
Is that dinner's not done.

There's Cheetos a plenty
And juice boxes galore
How wonderous the world
When you're only four!

Everywhere that you are
Everyone says hello
And they smile and giggle
Over all that you know.

Everyone thinks your precious
And tells you as much.
Whoever not four
Knows a life that is such.

When you are four
Days are full of delight
And you love everybody
No matter their plight.

Your biggest dreams
Are for the smallest of things
Like ice cream for breakfast
And gold plastic rings.

You marvel at wind
And blow kisses to trees
And you laugh at the folds
And bends in your knees.

You talk with the Lord
In a most secret way
That eludes even brilliance
Found in leaders today.

You find love in a blanket
And boo-boo's healed with a kiss
Oh to be four
Living life just like this.
