The sparkle in each child's eye
often dulls with age
yet with love and tenderness
it can brighten again

The questions of youth
often turn into stale dogmas after many days
yet with faith and playful questioning
winter bark can transform into fresh leaves
as silver branches send out verdant sprigs

Day by day nurture the parts
of you that are still young

Light a match and behold the wonder
Explore new vistas
Laugh at death and
never worry about the impossible -
all great things
at first were deemed far flung
