Changes over time

Written by Hannah my cousin
Inspired by a story that I tried to write.

Once you reach a certain point in life the world starts to change. It isn't amazing anymore.
The magic and wonder disappears.
A young child sees the sun in the sky and wonders how in the evening it goes away, but never fails to return in the morning. If you explained to him how this works , he would still be amazed.
An adult sees the same star looming above in the sky, and never stops to wonder. For him, it is simply there. God put it there, the big bang, whatever flouts your boat. It is simply THERE.
Some people never lose a young child's special weapon. They never forget how to be amazed, how to wonder or never lose their imagination.

These people are the lucky ones.
