The Child

Endless wanderer
Eyes alert
Fixed mind 
Tender heart
Controller of love, life, and happiness

Forgiver
Rebeller
Discoverer
Loner
Captivator of worldly objects into his world
of mind

Misunderstood
Mischievous
Misjudged
Mistrusted
Human creature new to worldly misgivings

Infant 
Child
Adolescent 
Adult
Torn among the roles society places before
him

Inventor
Creator
Mentor
Tutor
His child-like mind fumbles through life’s 
pages

Interesting thoughts put to pen in this one. We all have some child still in us and it is good to let it erupt in a positive way like looking at something with wonder. Sara
