My grandson, Atticus, is a very loving and friendly little man. He greets everyone with a joyful "Hello friend!" We would live in a better world if adults were more like children.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Jesus Christ, Luke 18:16

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet

Senryu is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables OR LESS. Senryu is usually written in the present tense and only references some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku.
