Don’t let go of the child completely….
♥Good morning friends,
Why do we love children so much?
Whether strangers or our own.
Innocent to look at, having the soft touch,
They’re more pleasant than anything we’ve known.
They may not appear to be worldly wise,
They tackle each task with a fresh approach.
Their innocence is a blessing in disguise,
Most things that they do are beyond reproach.
They’re enthusiastic about trying new things,
They don’t think twice before talking to strangers.
They take in their stride all mood swings,
They’re not deterred by obstacles and dangers.
Isn’t there a lesson in this for all of us?
We need to be childlike even when growing old.
Wisdom and knowledge are just superfluous,
We need to go beyond rules and break the mould.
A child is innovative and questions tradition,
A child doesn’t hold grudges for long.
A child does things for others without precondition,
A child accepts it quickly when it is in the wrong.
Whilst growing if we let go of the child,
We gain a little but lose much more.
Yes, to growing old we’ve to be reconciled,
But the need to be childlike we shouldn’t ignore.
….whilst growing old.
