Children

Children

draw glittery rainbows

drip glue

give gifts

giggle

hug


swing

jump

tell stories

cry fast

love love


see

cloud unicorns

mothers eyes

sidewalk stones

faces

a long way


daddy's arms

hidden cake

music

cloud angels

possibility


hear

silence

grandma's kiss

fear

crickets

under bed whispers


kindness

butterfly wings

puppies

wind chimes

every word


are

easily delighted

full of ideas

open

trusting

vulnerable


easily discouraged

delicate

beauty

irreplaceable

who we were (are)
