Children

by John MacEnulty

Children are a sacred gift to us, the divine energy fresh from creation.

More important than shaping and molding we need to learn from them.

Show the wisdom of age. Love. Tolerate. Encourage.

Don't fall for the bluff of youth. It's all a hunger.

These children, they really know very little. Do not confuse them with a worthy opponent. You get no credit for beating a child.

Children are mirrors.

Don't blame the mirror.

Learn from children what they need to tell you. The problem of childhood is being understood by an adult.

Be that adult kindness. Listen full with care.
