Lovely rays from the sun. Children out there having fun; licking suckers, eating mint. They are so very innocent.
At the park we see them play. It makes us think of yesterday. They play tag, some are caught. All they know is what they're taught. Their minds are fresh and soft as clay; filled with sheer naivete`.
They are so wild and so free, going through elementary. Some are strong, some are weak. Some have pride, some are meek. Some will climb the corporate ladder. Others think that nothing matter.
If we could go back in time, and do away with sin and crime; and walk the path of pulpit preachers; we'd grow to be such noble creatures.

It's so true children only know 'what they're taught'...
And, then they unlearn ... to learn truly...
Noble creatures we can eventually be.
Thank you for sharing Harold... Great piece and thoughts!
