The School Children
Working for a school board, I meet mostly adult students, staff, and school principals. If I want to see the school children, I walk to the nearest school ground during lunch break. Children are full of life, wonder and eager to learn. They are innocent, playful, and trusting.
One morning, I was greeted by these notes. These notes put a smile on my face and made my day. I wonder who it was good enough to write the notes. It’s rather a kind gesture.
The notes were posted on these bronze statues of children. I feel like playing along when I see these statues.
I love walking by this park! The sculptures are pure joy…
Good Morning, Was that you with the doggie walking in the park? Yes, they are lovely.
THat’s nice. I love the statues.
They are very lovely to see everyday.
How wonderful! I worked as a teaching assistant in the 80s and 90s. Children can be amazing!
Lately, I have the opportunity to spend time with my choir-director and her three children ( all under four years of age ). This is an immense source of joy every time.
As an adult, I learn a lot from children. My wish for them that they may retain the natural sense of wonder and inate love. I’m glad you are receiving the joy of all joys. Cheers.
Especially as I have never had kids of my own.
OMG…those statues are simply wonderful and what a blessing to see them each day. I forgot how to be child-like. I’m grateful to the person who taught me that there is a child in my adult body who wants to be free! I’m having to parent my childish behavior and encourage my child-like behavior. 🙂
Never ever grow up. Keep that child like mind in an adult body. 😛
how fun! great post!
Thank you.
This is really interesting. It does make you wonder who left those notes. Very sweet words.
Yah, it was a surprise coz’ I walk through the park of the school board every morning. Rather sweet indeed. Glad I carry my hand me down Cannon camera.
I know these statues well. Nice shots.
Hi Mr. Westcoast. How? Please do share. Thank you.
Love the statues and the idea that people would stick messages on them.
The messages made it worthwhile, eh.
