The Child Within

As we rush through our hectic days, many of us are so busy being "grown ups" taking responsibility and fulfilling obligations that we forget there is still a part of us that is essential to our well-being and happiness....the child within us. It is my belief that child deserves to be, and should be, acknowledged in order to maintain a healthy balance in our day-to-day lives and also to remind ourselves of the fun and joy that exists in each one of us.

Remember
having
fun?

It's NEVER too late to have a happy childhood

and to make sure others do, too *S*

The child in us knows how to be alive to feel, see and love sky, earth and life within. It is tender to be alive to touch with hearts in celebration. The child in us knows.

We are part of the whole but also alone on our journey. We are connected by that thread of our oneness and each is no less than another; all are flowers unique and beautiful, growing in the same earth, nourished by the same source. The child in us knows.

How vast and magnificent the series of unfoldings within each of us when we are truly alive. Listen softly to that child closer than your life vein, it tells you what you need to grow, to love, to be.

The Child Within

Watching the stars in their dance,
brilliantly shimmering, swaying,
reaching out to me.

Warming to their rhythm,
I reach out for the warmth,
the shine in my eyes,
mirroring the sparkle they lend.

The wind whispering stories in my ear
of long forgotten wishes.
Beckoning me to renew
fervent requests to the stars.

Remembering childlike innocence,
gazing upon the stars,
hoping for all my dreams
and believing they'd answer.

Knowing they are listening now,
I raise my face to greet them,
feeling that innocence surging through me;
I wish again.

A warm brightness
surrounds my face
and I can almost touch
the brilliance before me.

Smiling down, my special star
touches my face lightly,
caressing my soul,
promising eternal youth to my heart.

My childlike visions,
face me once more
and I feel absolute bliss
at the child who remains.

Closing my eyes
I search my soul
to laugh with the child,
play and make wishes.

Baring my soul to the warmth before me,
I know my dreams have really come true.
This child of heart believes again
and wishes once more;

......Star light, star bright......
