My sons wanted to touch
The nebula in the galaxy.
So I bought them a telescope.
After they soaked up the stardust,
I witnessed how much their imaginations
Lit up like the sun rays, and by then
Only five minutes were gone by.
On the next ticking minutes,
They broke the telescope into pieces
And frowned in disappointment
For they couldn't find
The treasures hidden in the far planet.
They asked me, “Can we get another telescope?”
I asked them why they broke this one?
They laughed so innocently, together and said,
“We were trying to take Pluto out and hold it.”
I laughed with these clowns. But
Traveled deep into space and saw
What their beautiful imaginations
Saw and painted vividly!
I told them that the next telescope is
In its way for delivery with
“Prime Time.”
Their darkened face shined
like Christmas light
And their imagination began
to run wild again.

Kids break many things in life, until they grow and understand life.
No matter what they break in the process or how long it takes for them to reach that stage, our job is to never break their imaginations.
