Just Children
Look into a young child's eyes,
through mirrors reflecting back you'll see.
All they want to find in life,
and all they want to be.
They don't expect a miracle,
to fill every whim and need.
All they wish is to share your love,
living life with a spirit freed.
Take them to a spring-fed stream,
where the water is cold and clear.
Make sure they witness its beauty rare,
its origins so clear.
Watch them marvel in a forested realm,
to dream of a hidden place.
Where water cascades from a vaulted bluff,
to mist a tender face.
Explain to them, what with age, you know.
Explain to them how you feel.
Let them understand the taste of love,
explain to them it's real.
Show them the simple things in life,
that too few of us ever share.
Tell them daily that they are special,
tell them how much you care.
Make a big deal when they try to please,
But correct them when they're wrong.
Don't be too proud to play a silly game,
or hum to a juvenile song.
You cannot pretend that you're too old,
To blow seeds from a milkweed's crown.
Keep a smile on their face and a tune in their heart,
By your actions, don't let them down.
Take them places they've never been before,
and show them the treasures there.
Let them walk with you where you've walked before,
Wear the blossom they gave in your hair.
And always remember,
some day they'll be you,
Some day they'll raise children-
your days will be through.
But find peace in the fact,
that they carry your love,
They carry your wisdom,
and they're watched from above.
Some day when they take their own children,
on a walk through a quiet wood.
They'll think of you often and remember their Mother,
Who gave them all that she could.
