Children Are Different
A snowflake landed on a child’s nose.
It melted… and then dripped to his toes.
He never asked, “I wonder why?”
He merely turned his face towards the sky.
And another flake quickly took its place…
This snow-fluff, that had lit upon his face.
Children are different from grownups.
An adult’s outlook is often jaded…
Over the years, optimism can become faded.
But with children, cynicism has not yet been bred….
For them,
There’s always another snowflake floating overhead.
