Happy Children

Children take pleasure in nothingness.
We could all follow their lead.

 

Happy children are all-stars, curious jugs of sunshine,

their faces radiant, their eyes metaphors of emptiness

and fullness perfectly contained, their naïveté

keeps us entertained, they don’t think about anything

too long, peanut butter keeps them energized, they have

happy feet, elastic faces, like acrobats they ride bareback

on wild stallions with wings, they train smarter, not harder,

slow and steady gets them there, they balance fun with

rest, they lie on their backs and take pleasure in moments

of nothingness.

Oh how beautifully true. Such a shame that as we grow we lose the innocence we were born with...

Be always safe,
