Brillance of a Child

There is no more brilliance than a child Who brings wonder and intuition into a meadow Chasing the faeries we thought were butterflies Ingenuity on speed dial. I watch her carefully, soaking in her flair. Loving her creativity as she builds a fort Out of sticks, moss, twigs, and a cardinal’s feather. Genius takes on a whole new meaning She is resourceful and clever, she has a knack for greatness. I remember being her once upon a time. She is the king of the unicorns now. I smile at her intuitive intelligence and her inspired genius. She is five.

Children are bundles of joy and creativity ! Their brain works in a straightforward way and they are moved by curiosity and there is always a sense of wonder in them. Beautiful observation Caren !

Five -- and alive!! There is a saying in another language: 'With all the bright-eyed children, where do the dull-eyed adults come from?' I'm with you in wonder at the imagination of children. :) gw
