...in the eyes of a child

          The tiny humans are the most precious, amazing, and beautiful creation there is in the world. With their round faces like an angel; those little fingers tracing your face; those little lips that lifts your soul when it smile; those cute nose that wrinkles when touched; and those little black round eyes looking innocently at you as if you are the most beautiful and perfect person alive.

          Looking at them I realized:

In the eyes of a child, the world is a perfect place - a paradise where everything's better and everything's safe. A place where we can freely dance and play. A land where we can spread our wings and fly away.

In the eyes of a child, life is wonderful. With their joy and laughter, we are reminded that it is alright to let ourselves be crazy at times and enjoy what we have while we still can. For them everyday is bright and colorful. Indeed they tell us simply to savor the beauty of life, not to complain but instead be thankful at all times.

In the eyes of a child, every dream is possible and reachable. They teaches us to continue to believe in ourselves and to chase for the desires of our hearts. Dreaming is not a bad thing for them. They dream whatever and whenever they want. They make paper airplanes and you'll know they wanted to be a pilot. Whenever you see them with a tiara and in a dress, they dream of becoming a princess. Seeing them care for their dolls and you could say that someday he/she will become a doctor. Just dream - it's free anyways.

  

In the eyes of a child, we are given an opportunity to prove ourselves that we are someone whom they can depend on. They may hide behind their mothers the first time you meet them, but then they will eventually allow you to touch and talk to him/her when they feel that you will not hurt them. They showed us that we sometimes have to trust and let someone in. For our life would be much happier and meaningful when we are surrounded by people whom we can trust and trust us too.

In the eyes of a child, we are reminded that our journey is still long and that we still have chance to shape and mold it. We are not perfect. We may stumble and fall. But like a child - we learn how to stand up and start to walk again. 

Lessons in life may be learned as we go along our journey. But there is a point in our lives where we ask and find no answer. Try to pause for a while and observe a child. For sometimes just simply looking IN THE EYES OF A CHILD, we may find and learn the most meaningful lessons that would guide us as we walk the long road ahead of us.

PS: I wrote this after hearing the song "In The Eyes Of A Child" by Air Supply.

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter.

There is hope, there is trust.

A chance to shape tha future.

For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher.

Than the look in the eyes of a child.
