**A Child in the Garden**
When to the garden of untroubled thought
I came of late, and saw the open door,
And wished again to enter, and explore
The sweet, wild ways with stainless bloom inwrought,
And bowers of innocence with beauty fraught,
It seemed some purer voice must speak before
I dared to tread that garden loved of yore,
That Eden lost unknown and found unsought.
Then just within the gate I saw a child, --
A stranger-child, yet to my heart most dear;
He held his hands to me, and softly smiled
With eyes that knew no shade of sin or fear:
"Come in," he said, "and play awhile with me;"
"I am the little child you used to be."

Today the 14th of November is a very special day here in India!
The day that sparks a nation wide celebration of childhood! A day that commemorate the birth anniversary of India's first Prime Minister.
Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.
[Les Brown] 
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
**Born on 14th November, Nehru grew up to become a lawyer. However, he left his profession and joined Gandhiji in the freedom struggle of India. Eventually, he turned out to be brilliant, outspoken, practical and illustrious politician. On attaining independence from the British in 1947, Nehru became the first Prime Minister of the nation. His dedication and passion for the country is remembered on this day. Nehru had great love for roses and children. He often compared the two, stating that children are like buds in a garden. He regarded children to be the future of the nation and citizens of tomorrow. Due to this love of Nehru towards children, he was bestowed upon with the endearing title of Chacha Nehru. Hence, a tribute is paid to this great personality by celebrating his birth anniversary all over India.**

they will only be a child for so long.
