NaPoWriMo #30 Sonnet for the Future

May we always know the wonder
a child's enchanted mind reveals
as through life we toil and blunder
with progress snapping at our heels.

Let us forever stop and smell
the roses on our thorny paths;
listen to the sea in each shell
tell secrets of a world so vast.

For there's time enough to worry
about the Things we've yet to do -
don't let the lines get too blurry;
tend to the magic inside you.

Go be a mirror for the joy on every child's face,
and don't let their unconditional awe go to waste.
