To walk into the outdoors with eyes of wonder
Seeing nothing but adventure around the corner
Something different to explore and see each day
To look at everything as fresh and new to play
Everything looks bigger – more beautiful and new
Never bored – always something exciting to do
Looking wide eyed at all the fun and beauty around
Pretending to be a Prince or Princess with a crown
Boys with swords and a new Dragon to slay
Girls with long jeweled skirts – different every day
Boys fishing with their hands and squealing with glee
While girls kissing frogs hoping for a Prince to see
If only as adults we could be as carefree
Always seeing something new – happy and free
To look at the world through the eyes of a child
And be able to enter each day with a happy smile

So beautiful and so appropriate for my frame of mind right now.
Thank you for your gentle boot 'to wake up' and be grateful for the good in my life.
You are awesome!!!

Just came back from an outdoor concert featuring The Love Dogs, among other artists; and, the weather was beautiful. It was an afternoon-to-early-evening concert so there were families with children there whose responses to the music and to being outside were delightful to witness. Your poem is delightful to read. Thanks for reminding us to To walk into the outdoors with eyes of wonder.... Such a gift.
