Let us Look at the children full of wonder
So alive in every way
Passion for life expressed so fully
With the dawning of each new day
The freedom to play and grow
Without boundaries, not stopped by fears
Boundless joy and self-expression
Not diminished by their tears
Constant adventure and excitement
Experienced every single day
Play till you win, so very natural
Failure is merely part of play
We could relearn from the children
How it is to really live
Imagine if the beautiful child within us
To all the world we would choose to give
The magic of life lives within the children
In every village throughout the world
A life of miracles is possible
For every ageless boy and girl!

Dear Somayya,
Thank you for the beautiful poem. Children as with all life should be celebrated and this poem does exactly that.
I just read a wonderful anthology of contemporary poetry that was fabulous. It is THE BEST AMERICAN POETRY 2006 edited by Billy Collins.
I hope you are well.
With loving thoughts,
Lillian
