Enjoy For Just a Moment
Her shoe lace is dragging on the ground behind her, a leaf stuck to it.
Her cheeks all flush with heat from rolling on the grass.
She smiles as she watches a butterfly cross her path,
determined, she trys to catch it, her hair hanging acrossed her face as she
watches it fly away
Will she always look at everything with such inocence?
The dirt under her nails is not a bother, her skinned knee is no big deal.
Her day was full of excitement, playing laughing and blowing bubbles,
It now comes to an end. bewildered with exhaustion, bath time is so very quick,
She can't wait to sleep, just to start a new day again.
As we watch our children enjoy the simplest moments , stop for a moment and
take a deep breath, share with them a minute . Run after the butterfly, blow some
bubbles,catch the rain drops on your tongue,and for just one moment remember
how life once was. never lose sight of the inocence of our children and escape
for a moment to live it with them.
