Innocence

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.”
― Anne Frank

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Blessings of a Youngling
days were beautifully long
nights just a brief moment
dreams were seen
with eyes wide open
pleasure a chocolate cookie
guilt from innocent lies
wishes were never enough
with plenty laughs or cries
life a curiosity filled mystery
yesterday long forgotten history
such are blessings of a youngling
