Children At Heart, Contributed by @Olawalium
Most of us know, there are some things about children that excite us. Their energy, their laughter, their lack of worries, their ease to move past arguments, and their free heart. They are a bunch of cuties.
I love having them around. I love it when they infect me with their smiles and try to excite me. Most of the time when I get home, we have a bunch of kids downstairs. When they see me, they run and want me to carry them and lift them up in the air, and they never get tired of it. They even take turns for me to lift them in the air.
They expect you to be at your best all the time. They push us to even be better, more than we know it. When I finished lifting them all, they go back to the first person. Hahahaha. Some will be screaming: “Uncle Wale,” and I respond in my usual fashion: “How are you?” With excitement in their voices, they all chorus: “Fine.”
You would think that was it, no. As I am walking towards the stairs, one will lead the chant again and say, “Uncle Wale,” and I will respond. They never get tired. I wonder if they ever get tired. They can repeat it like five times till I disappear into the house and I would always answer them. It got to a point one day, one of their mothers had to caution them and I told her not to limit them. I love it when they are expressive and when they let the joy flow from their hearts.
There are some things about them that excite us and draw us to them. Children are without worries. Their parents may be screaming about how to get money and how to make ends meet, and that moment, they would request for something to eat.
They also believe easily. If you promise to get them something, and you haven’t given it to them, they keep reminding you. They even believe in us, more than we believe in ourselves. They believe we are going to keep to our promise, even when sometimes those promises are said just to let them give us a little bit of peace. Hahaha. You have no choice, you have to look for a way of redeeming it. They are easy to please. They don’t give you a set of laid down rules.
They are fearless. They do things, and as an older and wiser person, you try to warn them about it because you know how awful things can turn out. They always want to try new things out. They always want to explore. They feel they are limitless. They feel their energy will always be hyper. To them, nothing else matters, but joy and happiness in the world.
Have you ever seen a baby or a little kid laugh? Even if your heart is made of stone, their laughter would make you laugh. Innocent in its purest form and very heartily.
If you see where they argue, and best each other after dragging a play toy with each other, you would think they are done talking to each other. Give them few more minutes, you will see them playing together with that toy once again. You can’t help but smile, as it puts things into perspectives for us, the older ones.
I don’t know why I had to talk about children hahaha, is the daddy in me trying to force himself out unto the surface? Calm down, peace, be still...with time...
To be continued...
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Allow the daddy in you to burst out willingly,unless.... Lol
That's just the true picture of children, they don't act it, that's is who they are.
I met one new friend in church yesterday, she's just a little girl anyways, but I dare not call her little, she's so mature in her thinking, she ensured I had no dull moment. Each time I'm thinking on how to strategies things within my spirit, she asked questions to ensure I follow the Bible principles which says I should not give thought to what to eat and what to where....lol
I will definitely make post about her....lol
She's very intelligent and smart.
No friend is as committed as children, anybody that understand this will always want them around.
Thanks @olawalium for the wise word from a pure heart.
They ask the most innocent and most intelligent questions ever, even with their age. Nice one. They are so adorable.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate you.
Thats how we should be as adults. We are not here to work, pay bills or be slaves to anyone. We should be free and enjoy every moment of our life. Look for our real purpose and gain knowledge.
I enjoyed reading your post, keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much @hanen. I sincerely appreciate your kind words.

Yes the children got no problem even if their parent got, you just give them what you have promised them if you don't want trouble cos they will never forget and they will keep asking until you fulfil your promise
That's makes them all the more adorable. Thanks a lot bro.
