I think the reason
I love children so much
is because they're oblivious
in the most beautiful way.

They haven't yet learned that
People can be demons, too.
That the monsters they fear are under their bed,
Are actually across the hall,
Driving their school bus,
And signing their diplomas.

They still see the world as a beautiful place where anything is possible and happiness is automatic.

They still have life in their eyes and hope in their hearts.

I think this is why I love children so much.
