To be a child

Allison W. Phinney, Jr.

To be a child is to feel as though you're always at the beginning and good things will come.

To be a child is to look at things and see them. You don't stop looking at the clouds or at the snow falling just because you've seen it all before.

To be a child is to give love without a lot of questions. You don't share your love on the basis of the worth or success of the adults around you. You just love—mother and father, uncles and aunts, grandmas and grandpas, and everyone.
