Stay Little, Small One

Stay little, small one.

Deep within your imagination…

Ride dragons.

Sleigh beasts.

Have tea with the astronauts.

Brunch with bears.

Twirl round and round right there in their lair.

Climb up a tree.

Skin your knee.

Bike as fast as your legs can take you if it makes you feel free.

Be the ballerina.

Make the best mud pies in town.

Go to the store in your crown.

Refuse to frown.

This world is not kind.

This world is not fair.

Some people don’t care; too many don’t share. DSC_0106

But for this brief season, believe that it is all true.

DSC_0036

Believe…

That life is fun.

That promise is infinite.

That all children are safe and loved and cherished.

DSC_0059

Believe…

That you are enough.

That you are kind.

That you are smart.

That you are brave. DSC_0111

Don’t give it up.  Hold on tight.

If just for one more day, stay little.
