The creative adult is the child who has survived.
The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there.

Watching a curious child
Witnessing sparkles of joy
Blessing us with innocence
Seeing how life will deploy
Finding daily adventure
Lighting up another room
Reaching out with innocence
Moving with a speedy vroom
Revealing wonders of life
Surviving each bump and bruise
Shining through with innocence
Napping now, let’s take a snooze
Playing through daily lessons
Sharing love with extra zest
Teaching us with innocence
Enjoying life with each quest

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story.
No story is innocent. To tell is to put oneself in danger. To remain silent is to isolate yourself.
Boris Cyrulnik (born 1937) is a French physician and writer. He has written several books about the science of psychology. As a child, he survived the Holocaust when his family was captured.
Baby lives each moment
Life revolves around “now”
Without concept of time
Crying for mealtime’s chow
Months gather, move along
Sunrise into sunset
Child understands today
Playing, life’s fun outlet
Seasons bring transitions
Into another year
Life’s pace steps more quickly
Walking without much fear
Adulthood brings worry
Life’s major burdens rise
Innocence vanishes
Searching promising skies
Before morning arrives
Leftover tasks will keep
Today’s curtain descends
Resting, tomorrow sleeps
