Children are our greatest treasures,

They bring joy to our lives.

They are our greatest teachers,

Because they teach us,

How to truly enjoy our life.

The way they snort and giggle.

The way their crooked teeth shines so bright,

Almost brighter than the sun and moon's equation.

A child's laughter is enough to make you smile,

The way they jump, hop and skip,

Over cracks of sidewalks and under tunnels.

Their imagination runs wild,

Deep into the jungles of Africa and oceans of the Pacific,

Stretching wide as the Sahara Desert,

To them everyday is filled with adventures,

Just waiting to be picked.

The way their tears fall,

And snot covers their nose.

Feeling the greatest disappointment,

Heart breaking into pieces,

For something as simple,

As stealing a cookie from the cookie jar.

You see children are our greatest treasures.

Their hearts so pure and so innocent.

Their brutal honesty,

Is what makes them the greatest teachers.

Because they teach us...

To laugh and smile at everything,

That it is okay to be broken over the smallest things.

That imagination is what makes life an adventure.

Who would have thought,

That the smallest of creatures,

Could have the biggest of hearts.

Children are our greatest treasures.

Never let them grow up.
