teach me

What would I not give to have a child's heart
That carries not the morning's slight into the night

What would I not give to have the child's trust
That allow it to jump into our hands on our call
Without a moment's hesitation of a fall

Knowing yet that in a few years the strength of youth will be a bygone memory
And memories will be all that I might treasure
Is it vanity that one should.try to impart the best of themselves to the child
Nothing can be taught unless we become the learners from whom we seek to teach.
In the child lies the teacher, though they don't even try.
