Anyone who watches children at play will become as engrossed as the little ones.
Their antics, what they say, how they act, are very revealing.
Their innocence sometimes brings a pang as we realize that this state is only temporary. As they grow, they will shed the pure innocence of childhood.
It is also during this stage that we as elders, need to inculcate in them basic values of sharing and caring.
They learn very quickly and we should never underestimate the intelligence of a child.
Let them learn the joy of giving and in turn they will appreciate what they receive.
If we do not teach them basic values, then we will have failed in our duty and short-changed them. They look up to us as their mentors and we have the moral responsibility of nurturing them so that they will grow into caring, responsible and loving young people.
It is we who will color the fabric of their lives and landscape their journey into adulthood.
May all of us have beautiful rainbows along our journey.
