Let Them Be Children
Let Them Be Children
14th November is celebrated as Children's Day in India, it is the birthday of India's first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was very fond of children. Children are free spirited and we must let them as they are and dream for themselves, Happy Children's Day
Don't stop , don't interrupt
let their dreams fly,
let them touch the sky,
let them have fun,let them learn
let them be children.
Don't pressurize, don't criticize
let them choose their way,
bookish knowledge do stay,
but there are books beyond books,
which change how we looks
and how things we churn,
let them be children.
Don't judge,don't grudge
let their innocence prevail,
let them come out of shell,
let aim them high,let dream them high,
because dreams make future turn
let them be children.

hope today's parents with school going children read these lines...it's so sad to see unhappy kids struggling to find their own space, their own sky & pressurized to fulfill parents' dream...very well captivated...
ReplyDeletethis should be an inspiration to all parents
ReplyDeletelet their dreams fly,
let them touch the sky
Childhood ideally should be a magical happy time for everyone....to sustain one through adulthood. It is the greatest gift a parent can give his child
ReplyDeleteYes, let them be children.....let them dream without judging them....they are only young for a little while, and they deserve this time without undue pressures. Wonderful sentiments expressed here, Cifar.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Between the parents' pressure requiring their kids to succeed and society which asks them to grow up fast, children hardly have the space to dream.
ReplyDeleteI agree let them be children and be happy.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I fully agree. Parents, teachers, and other leaders have a huge responsibility in raising children in a healthy, supportive way. Nicely done.

This was great such freedom and expression, it really captured the feeling of freedom. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYes completely agree. Let children indulge in mud play and not burdened with expectations of parent.
ReplyDeleteCifar,
ReplyDeleteA celebration of the innocence and the chances for freedom, which little children deserve to enjoy. Sometimes this world can be a tough place, yet we must strive to allow children that opportunity to become themselves too!!

Wise thoughts indeed, Cifar. We should love children and nurture their dreams, however unrealisable they are.
