A child

by RainbowSlider   Oct 2, 2005


When I was a child
I spake as a child
but when I became a man
nothing really much changed.
I found new and more expensive
toys to play with.
Suffer the little
children to come unto me
for such is the kingdom of heaven.
I like being a grown up child
because I don't like growing up.
Grown ups have so many problems
because they have forgotten
what it is to be a child.
Act your age and not your iq
has often been quoted to me.
I would rather be childlike
than childish because childlike
has the virtues of being a child.
A child will love them that
love the child when a child
sees the child in them.
I try to let my child
grow up that way
I can be a crowned up child.

    Fast paced and - when said out loud - twists the tongue completely, lol.
    The sentiment is excellent and certainly got me thinking.

    Take care,
