Let Them Be Little 🌈🌈 🌈 ✨✨ ✨

When crayons become magic wands,
And walls turn into fairy lands,
When mud pies are five-star cuisine,
And giggles rule the in-between—

Let them be little, let them play,
Don’t rush them to grow today.
Their world’s still painted in wonder’s hue,
Each question starts with, “But why can’t I too?”

We teach them math, we teach them speed,
But forget they only need—
A lap to sit, a hand to hold,
A heart that listens before it scolds.

One day, they’ll trade their dolls for deadlines,
Swings for screens and chalk for guidelines.
Their laughter—now pure, untamed and wild—
Will soften into a “busy adult” smile.

So, build sandcastles that the tide may steal,
Jump puddles for no big deal,
Say yes to one more bedtime song,
Because this phase won’t last too long.

If we blink too fast, we’ll miss the show—
Those mismatched socks, that crooked bow,
That messy hair with a secret grin—
A masterpiece we won’t see again.

Let them live it, not just survive,
Help them feel that they’re truly alive.
For childhood’s not a test or race,
It’s the seed of a lifelong grace.

So laugh with them when juice cups spill,
Join their mischief, climb that hill,
The joy you give will come around—
A piece of you in the joy they’ve found.

“Don’t raise children who feel they must hurry to grow up—raise ones who never forget how to stay young at heart.”

🪞 Thought to Ponder:
Childhood is not a rehearsal—it’s the real show. If we’re too busy directing, we forget to dance along.
