"Know you what is is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of today. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has it's fairy godmother in its own soul."
-Francis Thompson
To my children:
For all the creativity and love that you bring into my life through your silly giggles, your loud screams of enthusiasm, your zest for all that is real and good and the innocence that makes you the precious children of God you are intended to be. Please, don't grow up so fast!
Love,
Mommy
Love it!
