Awake child
brush dreams
from your hair
Embrace your innocence
as long
as you can
Explore
experience
all that this life has to offer
All too
soon
innocence and youth shall fade
Take all
that you can
from this life
Take all the beauty
happiness and joy
and make it last while you can.

Dear Eric,

This was beautiful as it is so precious a representation of what we want for our youth. The opening stanza was absolutely stunning...you are quite the wordsmith...may try to separate thoughts....however, cotton candy. I love it!
