Possibility


Our little ones ask, "Why?" NOT
to annoy us. They're just curious,
full of wonder, eager to learn.

As they get older we hear,
"Why not? Everyone else has one."
{or does it. or is going...}

Sometimes, the older we get, questions
turn into "Why not me?" Or,
why me, why now, why this...

I'd like my whys to be
full of wonder. I want to
be eager to learn and grow.
And I'd like my why nots
to be full of possibility, the
opening line for many new adventures.
