March into the Night

Saturday night.
The dogs won’t stop barking.
It is right on this day.

Don’t let us be quiet and sit in a comfortable space.

Hold our attention!
Be loud! 

Cry out!

We have been complacent.
We have forgotten.
We have been scared.

Don’t let us be!

Remind us of youth.
Remind us of hope.
Remind us of the power of big love.

Leave arms for embracing.
Leave the branches shaking.
Leave silence for no one.

March on, children, march on!
