Experiencing a second childhood through the children

Tweet

There is a great and thrilling song written by Ehud Manor (in hebrew). The vocalist named Mati Caspi performs the song. He describes there many aspects of experiencing things through the eyes of the child. I wish there was an appropriate translation, but, I won't translate the song. I will just talk about it. He says that he lives a second childhood with his daughter : Through her eyes he sees and discovers a world once again. Through her hands he learns how to touch the sea waves (for a small boy it is probably a wonderful feeling). Through her lips , there is a new taste for the words. With her he can once again grow, up without a fear. The son is thrilled everyday, discovering new things, and the parent, being there with him, is being thrilled the same way. It's like they grow up together. Through her songs he learns how to listen to the creation. With her smiles, there is a new morning for every night. Through her stares he learns how to love without doubts. In her hugs, his body has vibrations all over... Believe me, this very good song made me cry like a river, reading the words and listening to the song. I can really get the meaning of having a child and experiencing his life. No wonder people can get mad when this divine thing is being taken away from them. Think about it : you got a small kid that starts learning words, see things for the first time, touch them for the first time, hugs and loves for real. When you start seeing things from the child eyes, I think it can be like living life all over again for the first time. Every cry you shake like the end of the world is coming soon... You can listen to this song here, but, you will need to know some Hebrew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlNcPADjcmA&playnext=1&list=PLB67FD06A756AE477&feature=results_main What do you think about experiencing a second childhood as a parent through you child child ?
