Like a Child

by

Be like a child

Be curious about everything

See colors

See shapes

with no names attached

Learn how to laugh

Learn how to reach out & touch everything

Be like a child

Cry easily

Laugh easily

Eat with gusto

Sleep with the deepest ease

Take those first faltering steps

into pure joy.
