A child's mind is so divergent,
Divergent from our minds.
A child's mind is filled with curiosity.
They are always eager to know what's going around them.
A child's mind is naive,
They say one can find God's reflection in a child's eye.

Children possess ability to find happiness in little things,
The way their eyes light up like twinkling stars,
Their happiness is infectious, it spreads through the room
As though it's diwali.
If you feel sad,
Play with a child and you shall find yourself brimming with happiness.

Children, their little laughs, their innocence, the purity with which
They perceive this world, its like a fresh flower blooming.
With Children, as they grow, you can witness the essence of life,
Different journeys, paths unfolding.

Children are forever eager to learn new things,
And the best thing about them
Is that they never stop learning.
Children are beautiful.
