There's a time in our lives when the world is a magical place to be;
Full of exciting things to explore... so many wonderful things to see.
It's a glorious playground bursting with colorful things...
When we look forward to the adventures each and every day brings.

It's a time filled with trust that the world is okay...
When we feel so lucky we've been allowed to come here and play.
It's a time when we trust in the process of life
And have absolutely no concept of the meaning of strife.

Then we grow older - and the questions begin...
In many things we do self-doubt filters in.
Sometimes our challenges seem a little too much,
Our inner joy fades beneath dreams we can't touch.

When life overwhelms sometimes it wise...
To view it again through a child's eyes,
And recall the beauty ... the miracle of birth
For in your own way you're a gift to this earth.

Remember how special small joys can be...
So many good things in this life are free.
