On Adulthood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Culture
is engaged
in a mad cap race
to push Children
to become Adults
before their Time.
Such actions
diminish
wonder,
whimsy,
innocence,
delight in the simple.
All of these
are essential Gifts
of Living fully
given by the Creator
for the Lifetime.
If we are so blessed,
we Humans
will be Adults
for a long time.
Adulthood
as designed
by our Culture
is over-rated.
It needs
a make-over.
