There isn't "something about children"

There isn't something about children.
There isn't a intangible thing.
There isn't a intangible thing about a child that makes us happy.
It isn't that there life is simpler.

Listen. really listen.
And watch, really watch.

You're somehow magically able to be in that world.
Your worse fear is of not being able to play today.
No little person ringing your door bell to request your presence.

A child's presence is not magic.

What is magic is that you manage to forget to not worry about the wrong things.
Magically manage to convince ourselves to care about the wrong things.

A child's presence reminds one to be simple. Be kind. Laugh. Hug a person. Run fast in grass. Fall on the ground. Look up at the sky and wonder. Put your hand out of an open window and move it up and down and up and down and watch it. Watch it go up and down..up..down..up...
