Welcome home! I agree to more we use our child vision the better sight we have.

Great proverb
in an increasingly hectic world where patience remains a virtue but also a 'nice to have?'

It was very necessary to remind us all of what it is to be a child. Great post.

Mariaki
Isn’t it sad that we forget to live our lives in a child-like manner; with open eyes, heart, and mind?  We might be taller, wider, and older but we can still be children from time to time.  Hope you had an enjoyable get-away….

Welcome back!!!  I missed you :-)  What a beautiful poem Maria... full of the whimsical sweetness of childhood.  You have such a gift for writing about the better, more beautiful part of life... your poems are like a balm that soothes my heart.  Bravo!  I am so glad you reposted this jewel...
