Childrens Eyes

You have such a varied understanding of language, & paint such lovely pictures w/ words you honestly should filter your gift into a novel !

Oh my!

I have a picture of a deep red maple leaf. It had fallen one wet morning and my son happened upon it. It was on a path of dark, wet tarmac. The contrast effected us both..without looking back at my phot I can clearly see it in my mind...maybe I should write about it as you have done so here.

Very well done.

I love this..

..I remember pushing my son around in his pushchair. I would deliberately slow down so he could touch, feel, smell, see up close and taste..well as long as it was safe to do so!!

This is a wonderfully written piece, reminding us all about how beautiful this world is and how we take it all for granted. Why, just because it isn't new to us, doesn't mean that it has lost its beauty, right?

Perhaps we should all try to slow down and try and observe the world through child-like eyes again. Maybe, just maybe we would want to preserve it for furture children to appreciate?

There is always hope when a pen such as yours can stimulate such hope and desire to change.

Well done on this.
