Viewing the world through the eyes of a child
will teach you the best way to be--
delighted, inspired, uninhibited, free,
awed by, and grateful for each new thing seen.

Racing through the playground having a ball,
enjoying it upright or when choosing to crawl,
thrilled by an insect even after a hard fall...

If all the world's beauty and its numerous gifts,
are unable to provide you with needed mood lifts,
perhaps a turn on a see-saw or simple swing
will spark a memory and be the perfect thing
to induce you to remember what a wonder it is to be alive,
persuade you to find your drive
and a passion to live fully and thrive
rather than merely survive.
