There is no such thing as
A cynical child.
They view the world
In terms of simplicity—
This is good, and that is evil.
This is right, that is wrong.
Every child is a poet—
A pure soul willing to
Break all things down into
Easier and more evocative terms.
Every child is a hero,
An adventurer—a veritable
Odysseus or Hercules,
Willing and able to take on
Whatever we adults will throw
At them in our misunderstanding,
Cynical, close-minded way.
Oh the lessons that the simple teach!
—C.R.E.
