Through their eyes

I am a Grandfather and I watch my grandchildren as they play. They can be noisy. They can be messy but they are always a wonderful doorway into my own past. This poem is for them.


Poem Artwork

They are wide eyed and full of awe at things we take for granted each day.


They find something to become excited about in a most wonder way.


 


What can make them become so aroused by the simple things they see?


It is the wonderful imagination of a child which kindles their curiosity?


 


Their mind is triggered to react to each new exciting thing they see and hear.


This same wonderful mind is motivated to learn and to explore as they live from year to year.


 


They are energized by things that we have grown to simply ignore.


They minds are activated to live each day and explore each open door.


 


It is a shame that we grow to soon old and lose these little minds that embrace all of life.


We grown old and tired and where they see hope we find only heartbreak and strife.


 


Let us search within our hearts and try to find the child we once were and light the fire.


 They have often said you are as old as you think so let us all be like children of God and let our hearts be inspired.
