Children's unique view of life and how fun it can be to view it as an adult. Written by Diane Compagno AKA Marie Cloud

Each day brings something new and special,
experience of life from eyes so innocent.
The first giggle, the first step, best of all the first hug
delight the heart and make you forget the trials of life.
Watching them do the smallest things becomes such a joy.
The crinkled face, their excitement about everything the first airplane, the first truck, sand on the beach all become something new through their eyes.

We forget because of the deceptions, and sorrows of life how wonderful the most simple things can be.
The joy that can surround us with only smelling a flower, walking on the beach and watching the ocean waves crash to shore.
How soon we forget the pleasures we can derive from seeing an expression change to that of joy
as we watch a child find her hand for the first time.
We have even forgotten that we have hands

Our quest should be to watch the child,
begin to see what makes their joy,
and remember how to experience it with them.
For it is the simple things in life that have been forgotten,
but we must find them once again and begin to live
and breathe free from the negative and stresses of life, free ourselves to enjoy a laugh again
and find the inner child in ourselves.
