Children


It is the wide-eyed wonderment
of things not experienced before
Of adventures and journeys
Of imagination and beyond

It is the innocent laughter 
following jokes and pranks
Playing with friends and siblings 
Their made-up elaborate games

It is the open heart of innocence
of things they don't understand
Of acceptance and love
Of similarities and differences

It is the tears running down cheeks
and the concept of unfairness
Of righteous indignation
The desire to protect the weak
