Choose to Grow You and Never Stop Playing!

Inspired by “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw

A child is one who seeks and grows,
Young or old doesn't define a child.
Play is for every child on earth,
The choice they make determines their feel.
Choose to grow young and never stop playing!

It's a starting point they're taught to leave behind,
Yet it's within them wherever they go.
In all that they pursue, they learn from what shows,
Never ending until there's no more to seek.
A child is one who seeks and grows.

There should be no assumption placed on a child,
Respect what is to appreciate their value.
They offer insight in every stage,
They grow and bloom when it's their time to share,
Young or old doesn't define a child.

Trying what's new or pretending to know what's old,
Enjoyment is found in the diversions they choose.
In sky, upon water
Or scurrying across land ,
Play is for every child on earth.

Perspective influences how they feel,
The mood chosen will change again.
Awareness can help them to live in the now,
Or they can choose to go with what they're told,
The choice they make determines their feel.

No matter the choices they make,
They are still learning on the path they found.
Floating up in enthusiasm or feathering down in fatigue,
They choose the direction and enjoyment to pursue.
Choose to grow young and never stop playing!
