slow down…..
Grandson Hanan Samuel, 3 ish
Watching Hanan see the World
Spider, bug,
Ant and bee
In my garden,
At my knee.
Provide a show
For this young one,
Eyes tuned tight
In midday sun.
He alone can see them move
We pass so fast his dawdling proves
Were we more still
We’d find delight
In this wee world
Through childs’ sight.

I wrote this several years ago when our son and his wife and Hanan lived with us. I remember when he was a toddler and he enjoyed crawling around in our yard….there are spiders galore this year–he would love it!
He started back to school a few weeks ago and is now a fourth grader; the years have gone by so fast.
Life especially seems to gear up and get going each Fall as school begins again. I thought this was a good reminder to s l o w d o w n….
Linking with the fine folks at dVerse Pub for Open Link night 63.
More good reading over there!

A delightful poem for a sweet boy 🙂
This is a wonderful reminder. It is shocking how fast the time will pass if we don't take the time to appreciate these moments.

Thank you, Ginny. yes, children think everything is amazing. I want to live grateful to God for all that wonder.
So perfect in its simplicity! Oh that we all could view life through the eyes of a child. Beautiful capture!
