THE LITTLE CANDLES IN YOUR LIVES
“It is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark.” And so goes the song of our Kindergarten II pupils who will bid us goodbye this year. How time flies. Our routine of sending off and fetching our kids at school will now take a break. As we bring the school year to a close, we take the time to reflect. Imagine a world without children. For sure, it would be a drab and dreary world. Who brings the sunshine into our lives? Who pushes us to wake up early in the morning? What is our reason for being? What makes us complete? I believe everyone knows the answer. Kids are the light in our lives. They are the candles whose light shines brightly amidst the misery and darkness that surround our world. Our “little candles” give us the hope, the tenacity to keep going on. The little candles shine with their light of love and compelling innocence that sometimes makes us wish we were kids again.
As parents, we are reminded to keep the flame among our little candles alive. Let us find time for them, let us leave our work in our places of work, let us leave our worries behind, and let us be inspired by their presence. Let us savor their childhood because they will never be kids again.
In behalf of the Xijen family, we express our gratitude for your support and belief in the ideals of the Xijen Pre-school Department.
