Fragile Innocence
Today I held a baby in my arms, and felt her fragility within my grasp.
Funny how innocence can come packaged in such a small, delicate bundle. How can something so great and so wonderful, be found in something so fragile?
Maybe that's why we treasured infants and children.. because true innocence can only be found in the very young. After all, we all get tainted in this age of corruption. No one can truly claim to be innocent in this world of murder, sex, lies, and crime.
And so we try to protect the young from corruption, even if it's impossible to do so. Like us, they must learn to grow in this treacherous environment, to know right from wrong, to make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes, and most importantly, they must learn to become independent.
But for now, we shall treasure them and their precious, precious innocence.. We yearn for what we ourselves cannot have.
