What Do Kids Teach The Grown-Ups?

Mom, look at me how I’m playing!

I hold out my hand and catch butterflies

I laugh and spin so fast

that even the sun gets dizzy.

Then, with one finger

I take it and put it in my hair

like a special jewel of innocence.

Mom, look at me how I’m playing!

I smile as soon I see other kids.

They are amazed just like me.

We recognize our hearts.

We know

that they are made from

the same dough of joy and trust.

Mom, look at me!

We play together

like true friends.

We have a magic key

with which we can open

all the world’s doors.

Mom, look at me!

We smile and play.

This is the true happiness,

mom,

believe me!

What Do Kids Teach The Grown-Ups?

Have you ever had the opportunity to see kids from all over the world, playing on a playground?

„How do they understand one another?” you ask yourself a little bit worried. „O, let’s hope they won’t get upset”, you add.

Then, after a few minutes, kids laugh, run, go to the slides or the swings or invent a new game.

You are amazed and ask yourself: „How do they understand each other without words?”

One kid is Chinese, one is American, and another one is Romanian. Everyone speaks his or her mother tongue.

How Do They Get Along?

Kids speak the language of smiles. Joy bonds them immediately, because joy doesn’t have language borders.

Only they remind us that in paradise we won’t speak English, Chinese or Romanian. We will speak the language of smiles, the language of friendship, and the language of good will.


Kids remind us that a true smile melts the borders and bonds people’s hearts.
They reveal to us how natural good will is, how beautiful love is, how simple harmony is.
They show to us that heaven is part of our nature. Love, understanding, harmony, and joy are seeds of heaven, deeply embeded in our souls.

A Short Reminder

Looking at them while they are playing is like hearing a reminder: „you can be a better person, just share your smile and goodwill.”

Having these thoughts in my mind, I wrote this poem. I hope you liked it.

Creative Writing Or Creative Thinking

One day,

I met a child

and he raised his hand

towards the sun.

I only saw the sun,

but he told me

that I should have seen

the light’s smile.

An Unforgettable Marriage Proposal

Under the door,

on the rug,

a letter came in.

The fancy ladybug

read it without fear.

And what a question

from the waggish cricket!

“Sweet ladybug,

would you like to be

my bride?

We shall live

wherever there is peace,

and a lot of love

we will have.”

She suddenly blushed

and called her girlfriends,

a few little stars,

and asked all of them

to hug one another

up in the bright sky

to write a big

“Yes.”

Visătorii

Unii scriu poezii

pe hârtie.

Alţii scriu poezii

pe computer.

Alţii scriu poezii

pe mâinile stelelor,

pe părul soarelui,

pe gleznele vântului.

Ei sunt

cei care tatuează

corpul nevăzut al lumii.

Siesta

In the autumn

at noon-time,

everybody is taking a siesta

in the garden:

hens,

roosters,

ducklings,

kittens,

and two little doggies.

The sweet wind

puts to sleep

any soldier

standing guard.

Suddenly,

in the fairy tale-like silence,

a rustle

is heard.

Everybody wakes up.

“What was it?

Where was it?”

Only the old maple tree

laughs softly.

“My dear,

do not be scared!

It happens

more and more often.

Three very rusty leaves

fell down

on the ground!”

I Will Bring The Splendor

Please,

let me take your dreams

in my arms,

and carry them

to the moon!

I will make them

rain

stars of light

on us!

 

Alergând după Iubire

Caut

un om curat

ca un plămân de brad

pentru ca,

respirând prin el,

să mă pot întregi

cu tot frumosul lumii.

Invisible Letters For You

My darling,

every time you leave,

I write invisible letters

for you.

You can read them

anywhere.

Some are hidden outside

on the clouds’ eyelashes,

on the sun’s smile,

or on the wind’s fingers.

Others are written

on the paper

of your body.

But most of them are written

on the infinite horizon

from your heart.

 

De la pământ la cer

Cu respiraţia ta lângă urechea mea,

măsor

mereu

distanţa

de la pământ la cer.

From Earth To Heaven

With your breath close to my ear

I always measure

the distance

from Earth to Heaven.
