A roadside circus show –
\nwhat an exciting and
\nadventurous profession,
\nwithout any of the cares
\nwhich bind family men.
\nA small family with two
\nor three children and the
\nrest their young friends who
\njoined them by learning
\na few small tricks.
\nWhat freedom – to flex
\nthe body, walk on the
\ntightrope, wriggle in and out
\nof rings, and acrobatic feats.
\nThe mind too, disciplined to
\nconcentrate, sending out a
\nmessage of healthy living
\nfrom the small troupe.
\nLooking for a place to set
\nup the arena for the next
\nshow along the dusty path.
\nAn abundant amount of
\npositivity to live life freely
\nwithout any frivolous cares.
\nTo live life as an adventure,
\ngaining calm and strength
\nfrom an experience with the
\nbeauty of life on a way once
\ntraveled, especially in
\nthe youthful years.
\nHow much this warmth
\nthat exudes from
\nthe younger days.<\/p>\n\n
