Little Boy, Don't grow up!

One little boy
endless interest and energy
wanting to know
to handle
to experience
how things work.

No bashfulness
no challenge to big
no sides defining his box yet.

He could be seen as
in the way
making messes
Trouble.

 But he is
curious
an explorer
a young life

 making me see
old things in new ways
average things becoming important
and simple made profound.

We who have all the work
which accompanies small people
are the rich!
