Day 14 - Hopperty, skipperty, high and low...life is full of fun.

Grasshopper Green is a comical chap;

He lives on the best of fare.

Bright little trouser, jacket, and cap, 

These are his summer wear.

Out in the meadow he loves to go,

Playing away in the sun;

It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low, 

Summer's the time for fun.

I remember this poem from our school days. These lines need no explanation. It just reminds me of the carefree life we led as a child. Sweet memories of those glorious days, when there were no hardships, no worries, and no troubles. There were no deadlines to be completed, no financial worries, no bills to worry about, no health issues. Life was filled with fun, frolic, and laughter.

Seeing my child today full of joy, dreams, and imagination, it reminds me of my childhood days too. To her nothing seems impossible and nothing beyond imagination; a piece of paper becomes her airline ticket, a stick becomes her magic wand, an ordinary pebble becomes a diamond, a table top becomes a mountain, the space underneath the table becomes a castle. This very innocence makes us enjoy our life. 

Enjoy your life like a child. Go hopperty, skipperty, high and low...for life is full of fun.

Have a Hopperty, Skipperty Day!
