The little hands tapping on the window,
eyes wide, full of wonder,
shrieks and gasps saying—
“Look at those! So beautiful!”
It’s the same view I see every day,
every commute to my 9–5.
I’ve long lost appreciation for it,
but to them, it’s all new.
I understand it now—
the role of a child:
to teach us to slow down and appreciate
the world once again,
to see through innocent eyes,
to find beauty in the everyday,
the kind that dulls over time.
I stand right behind,
smiling to myself, whispering thank-yous,
for showing me that life can be
ever exciting, ever thrilling, ever exhilarating—
even in the mundane,
if only I choose to see it that way.
