A child is not a person of young age,

But one who laughs heartily,

Who plays often,

Who expresses naive thoughts,

And one who always has enough empathy

to comfort somebody else,

A child is a person who can

The world through positive eyes

all of the time, all of their days

Who is creative and open-minded

Who possesses a wonderful imagination

And a beautiful heart.
