Innocent play.

Sand cushioning your feet.

Embraced by the sun and love of family.

You fly, with the wind in your hair, as you're propelled into the air...only to be pulled back to earth to start again.

In one brave moment you jump on the upswing, first into the clouds, then to the safety of mother earth.

With one deep breath you run; run to your next adventure.

Your only thought is of what's right in front of you.

My child this time in your life is so easy and all too brief.

Accept these warm hugs and high adventures life offers you. Feel and enjoy these times to the fullest because although there will be bigger parts for you to play, none will be so real and warm as the one you play now in innocence and belief.
