So, today’s the 1st of June—World Children’s Day, and that means it’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the kids out there! But this day is not just about colourful balloons, toys and biking in the park, and innocent smiles. Today is a day all about the grown-ups and the kids, too. It’s about us grown-ups who’ve still got that child within. Adults with hearts and souls that still dream, who play and never give up. It’s about the grown-ups who still believe in miracles, despite having experienced challenging times.
It’s about those of us who still hope, who can see the light even in the darkest of times … those who love and who haven’t forgotten how to dance in the summer rain. Yes, it’s about all of those who allow their souls to fly as if the world were still a magical place where anything is possible.
