The Beauty Of A Child. Until they Have to Grow Up.

The sweet innocence of a child

Their charm and curiosity of

wanting to learn and grow

and enrich their simple

everyday lives.

The pleasure of joy and

loveliness they see in the

world around them.

When they laugh you

laugh with them.

As their laughter is

so infectious and

delightful to hear.

They are inoffensive

honest, open and

seek to learn everything

they see, hear and touch.

Let alone taste or smell.

They like or hate.

Angelic little souls

until they grow up

into adults.

And learn life is not

all rosy and sweet.

And to me, that is very

heartbreaking that we

as humans can't hold

onto the goodness

and love of humanity

and life. As we also

grow other with age

and wisdom and maturity.

I guess some do others

certainly, do not.
