Looking into the eyes of a child makes me wonder what they will grow up to be. What will they learn, and will they apply it or choose a different path?
When I hold a baby who gazes deeply into my eyes, I can't help but think they are searching for something not yet understood and are counting on me to provide answers.
As I watch a child grow into adolescence, I see a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to learn as they absorb everything they can. It's our responsibility to take the time to teach them so they can prosper in the future.
When I see a child become a young adult, I sometimes witness rebellion. That’s perfectly normal as long as they believe strongly in their cause and stand by it.
When we shake hands instead of exchanging hugs, I respect that moment. I know the child has grown up, and their handshake is their word, just as they were taught.
When they look into my old and tired eyes, I wonder if they remember being my babies, searching for answers that were always there. If they just looked.
