A Little Book

Adults should read more children’s books.
Simple stories, not cluttered with the angst
of daily life. Learning in it’s basic form. 
Stories of dogs and cats and wiggly things,
touch and feel and join in the fun.
Look at life at it’s foundations, to truly
believe and look at the world with wonder
and simplicity.

You know, we adults need to be reminded to slow down and notice the world around us. What better way then through the eyes of a child. Great job BG! Thanks for all the kind comments, Nate

They can be so uplifting, free of many struggles of adulthood. Nice view here. Keep on writing! Karen

I do agree with this, Barbara! I "vetted" every one of my children's books, including the Beano! Now I get to read with my granddaughter, lucky me! Lovely reminder, thank you!
