the heart of a child.

entry picture

I wish I could go back to the time when I was two years old.

This is not because I  want attention from every one who visits home.

Not because I want everybody to buy me nice things when they go to town.

Not because I want  my mother to take me with her wherever she goes.

 

This is because I want to have the heart of a child.

A heart of a child that has no ability to hold grudges.

A heart of a child that never gets the opportunity to hold in it hatred.

A heart of a child that is always at EASE

A heart of a child that is FREE from disease.

 

I want the  heart of a child!

A heart of a child that is always SATISFIED,

A heart that is never harmed by the disease of uncertainity.

A heart that has PATIENCE!

I mean a heart that FORGIVES and forgets in a minute if ever hurt.

A heart that is a home to LOVE, PEACE  and JOY!

I want to have the heart of a child!

 

He knows! ►
