One thing
I never expected,
as I matured
into a seasoned citizen
is how cute,
kids would become to me.
When I was younger,
I appreciated the children,
God allowed me to help raise.
I appreciated,
my nieces and nephews.
But other children
were just there.
I didn’t pay,
much attention to them.
I was almost the embodiment,
of that famous old quote
From W. C. Fields,
“Get away boy, you bother me.”
Now
as a member
of the receding generation
I find children a blessing,
just to watch,
their innocence
is a source,
of constant wonder
and astonishment to me.
Something
precious to behold,
and
sacred to protect.
