smashing prose
through the eyes of a child the world is amazing - and so it can be for you and me - this so very expressive poem jumps out to the reader - tossing them into a world of pure love and joy.

beautiful poem!
I have just completed Vacation Bible School and you are so right. Children are
so special and a joy to spend time with. It reminds you of the innocence we
once had years ago. Thanks for the wonderful reminder.

Mariaki
We have 3 granddaughters and it's so true that the love or simple joy in their faces can be so uplifting - a nudge for us to count our blessings. Small children - the "get it". It's only when they start to get older that the complexity of the and the pull in so many directions seems to blur the innocence.
(I had my dark period too, my friend, and it's only in this past decade, I would say, that I have finally come into my own and have allowed my thoughts and my heart to find some peace and purpose).
