Who’s Crazy

by Dayle King Searle

“You’re crazy,” they said, “to aim for the stars.

The stars are much, much too high.”

“You’re silly!” they shouted. “Look at yourself;

You’re human, you can’t even fly.”

And so as I jumped and sprang and leaped,

Laughing they all stood around.

I did not reach the stars, as they said,

But at least my feet left the ground.
