THE
CHILD
To see man in his
pure,
untouched, chaste
form,
look at a child!
A child truly
inspires
if you but look,
the unshackled brain,
the pure innocence,
the not yet learnt
practical wisdom.
The sheer charm
of a young one…
The adventurousness,
the brain that can
instantly
respond to values
if there is but a
teacher who
can respect it!
A capacity for
infinite learning!
A source of wisdom
that is natural
and releases if one
scratches the
surface.
A living for the
moment
fearless, free,
happy – naturally…
A natural
independence
that can’t really
be cowed down.
A questioning mind,,
a capacity for wonder,
a deep thirst for knowledge
and understanding.
In the hands of a
proper educator,
In the use of the
power
of a rational
education
that allows a child
to
but be, just be…
Oh! the world can be
changed in a day!
It is the child we
must save….
not crush as we do
now.
Remember, we were
children once and if
you
look deep within
at your own
innocence,
you will
discover the child in you too!
