Children






Children

Motion, energy, conflict, repose,

Imagination that breaks the set.

Eyes sparkling with anticipation,

Wisdom blossoming from honesty.


Muscles, intellect, spirit developing.

Creativity unschooled and unbridled.

Smiles that assure innocence.

Understanding revealing insight.


Infancy, youth, maturity, golden years.

Experience abandoned for frontiers.

Laughter etched in wrinkles.

Life in transition.

Love the poem, and the picture is a classic!

Martin Luther, in refelcting upon his young child, said something to this effect: A more lovely heathen I have never seen.

Thanks for sharing!
