Youth

                                                    "STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD"


Sticky.


Eager.
Bold.
Friendly.
Icky.
Hopeful.
Lively.
Wild.
Loud.
Adventurous.
Questioning.
Hyper.
Foolish.
Imaginative.

They scribbled and as for the color? They didn't care.
Fists grasping tightly around the plastic object, circles and lines everywhere.
Through time, their talents surfaced
And true artists they have become.
Shapes and colors now have meaning,
It's not like when they were one

They have learned to stay within the lines
To cut and paste and glue
Art of cheerios and macaroni
A true masterpiece, who knew?

Time and effort glue each piece,
No reason or thought of waste
Cautiously, the work evolves
Little fingers stuck with glitter

And for a moment, time stands still
Sweet child, endlessly creating,
A pure and priceless work of art,
That which buries within the heart.
