Smile is a sign of contentment.


Smile

She curls her mouth
into an "O"
and holds a crayon
To carefully draw
within the sketch
"I drawing only inside,
not outside,okay?okay,mummy"
She says
suspecting that I
saw her color outside.

There are no borders
For discovery,
for love,for color,
for imagination,
for a child
and for an adult
discovering childhood
There are no limits set

Grow, grow like a seed
To be a plant and
then a tree
And let your branches
fan the clouds
from the sky
You are my teacher
and I'm just learning
"how to" all over again

Oh by the way,
I just love the colors
you chose
for your crocodile
It is so pretty like
a multicolored
Parrot!

Yes this is extremely touching, it gives that enchanting view of a childs perspective and how as a mother our children can draw us into their world
