The world of the innocent…

Jump to Comments

Her small head on my arms… a small yawn and sleepy eyes… I wondered, through these eyes, our world seemed so big. She’s three months old. Who is? My niece. My cousin, her mother, just fed her and well, I was well, putting her to sleep.

Beautiful, that what I would say about her. I would have gladly taken a picture of her to show you guys, but I just didn’t think about this at that time. I was ‘enchanted’, like I always am when I see a child. A smile came to her lips, she was still asleep in my arms. And that little smile, hell, it filled me with an unknown feeling. Her mother said, angels were talking to her… Sometimes superstitions can really bring some smile on our lips, can’t they?

There on the sofa, her big brother was sitting. Not so big for me. He was six years old. They said he just like me. Intelligent. Yes he seemed intelligent. What made me laugh was what her mother said. He doesn’t revise but ends up first in class. Hell, doesn’t that remind me of someone?

What I saw was the love he had for his sister. He was always giving the little one kisses and hugs, which were kinda annoying for the baby. She kept screaming, kinda tired of his big brother. Made me think of another nephew, who well, dotes on his sister. He was four. And her sister, a new born, 2 weeks old. And well, he simply loved her. He sat there, by her little sister’s side, talking to her.

Such is the world of children. Loving, caring and the aura of innocence around them. How I would have liked, to once again, see the world through their eyes.  They never discriminate against anything. They just love you for what you are, and not for what you seem to be.  What adults nowadays, seem to do. Physical appearance is all some care about.

I’ve always loved kids. Always. And well, it seems most of them really do like me too. Sometimes, I might just end up helping my cousins and aunts with theirs. I put them to sleep, feed them, play with them. I love doing so. It’s like reliving my childhood again. I dunno how to describe it, but it feels good, to stay with children.

For some time now, I’ve been thinking of working with children afterwards. I don’t know which job or what, but I know I wanna work with children. I can really see me, in some years, having a bunch of kids around me and talking to them.

Sometimes, I just feel I can understand their world, and sometimes, well, I just don’t. The way they think, it’s not as simple as we think it is…
