Have You Ever Noticed A Yo-Yo Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Have you ever seen a YoYo climb back up
upon its string?
Have you ever cast a stone upon a quiet pond and watch
the water respond?
Have you ever noticed a bell vibrate back and forth
upon each ring?

Well it seems to me there is a reason
that we bounce from season to season

And if today you are feeling so low
I think it will get happier soon
It's only May..so give it until June
and by then it should show...

Life will get better for you I want you to know...
Because the love you cry for now
is a reflection of the care in your heart somehow
and sooner or later that love will show

things have a way of moving up and down and back and forth
and what goes South oneday returns North
Like fireworks that shoot up to the sky
Then fall and delight as their beauty catches our eye

Or the moon which disappears at morning
and returns at night to the sky
Its the way of the world
We don't need to worry all the time about why?

So if you cry today
The tears won't stay
your smile will return
soon now..anyday!

Because a heart that loved so much
and was wounded by a broken love or crush
needs a little time to heal
life doesn't like to rush

So when you see a smile turned your way
don't shy away
smile back and watch the smiles multipy
like little stars in the sky

and then you'll understand more
without needing to ask why
things that feel so low today
will one day soon feel bright and high

So as Winter turns into Spring
I hope to you, happiness it does bring
as little girls play jump rope with a string
and jump up and down and laugh and sing

Happiness will soon reverberate in every little thing! !
A little smile to you I hope this poem does bring
