Two Little Children

Two little children

One boy, one girl

Brother and sister

Around age four

The little girl wears

a small denim blue dress

While the little boy is in

a special-forces uniform

They chase each other

running around

with screams of happiness and joy

Stopping at every corner

to explore their interests

and feed their curiosity

The little girl sings songs

and hums tunes

of cartoon shows

While the little boy

shoots his make-believe handguns

at imaginary enemies

Both in tune with each other

yet existing in external worlds

as a happy brother and sister
