Where Do the Children Play?

For the children and the sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers, who will never stop wondering why. All they wanted was to run and laugh and count the jumps of their friends jumping rope. All they wanted was to hide - 8, 9, 10 - ready or not here I come! - and be found. All they wanted was cookies and milk after school, help with adding and subtracting, to be read to and tucked in at bedtime. All they wanted was to chase each other into the yard, look up, and watch the falling stars.
