It's Children's Day in Japan, May 5th. Before they claimed the heavenly sky, I grabbed the swings and contemplated the monkey bars. A timid boy biked onto the scene. I'd had my time. And now I can hear them all playing, filling up the last light of the day.
I bought two carp flags years ago for good luck and my mom (obachan) said it worked after having two boys.
