Children Are Forever

Worshipping a festival.

Two small children with large eyes.

Things to see.
Splendid things.
Colors
And colors of music.

Things to eat.
Good things.
Sweet foods and bitter foods,
Candies and nuts.

Two small children
With large eyes.
In a larger world.

Worshipping a festival.
