Innocence of the Young

Hello!

His clear, exuberant voice greeted me as soon as I rounded the corner
his blonde, curlish locks barely visible
above the front of his stroller

Hello!

The face of his father greeted me differently
with
distrust
worry
fear

and I can't help but pause
and contemplate
a world of youth
void of the curse of life experience
and pain

a world
where each stranger you meet
brings hope
joy.
new possibilities.
the world is created new through the eyes of the young.
