That makes you behave in ways that you wouldn't normally embrace?
Is it the way they look at you with no hint of malice in their eyes?
Is it the way they don't judge you by your actions?
Can it be because for you they represent everything that is pure in this world?
Maybe because even their little lies are sincere and are meant to give you no harm?
Or is it the way their desires from you are so simple - and their affections for you unrelated to their fulfilment?
Could it be because they never offload the troubles of a long hard day on you?
Or the way they forget and forgive at the drop of a kiss?
Perhaps you love the way they wonder and delight at every small pleasure that life has to offer...and feel no less happy if those pleasures are not there?
Could it be because they are the closest you will ever get to God?
Or maybe, it is because deep in your heart you wish you were more like them...

Yes Abhi...
How true most of your statements are!
Just wanted to share something that I had written once to this effect in a poem that I happen to call "If only, the perspective" where I give perspective of two actors acting on or observing an event" and thus looking at the same event from opposite perspective...
A part of it was about kids...
Excerpt...
******************
If only you knew that you have what we lack,
you could've been happier.
An adult observing kids at play.
If only you knew that you have what we lack,
you would cease to be kids.
Another observer.

Yes.. How true most of the things that you wrote are!
I also once wrote a poem, a part of which focussed on kids. It was about two diff perspectives of actors acting on an event or observing it.
Excerpt follows:
**************
If only you knew that you have what we lack,
you could've been happier.
An adult observing kids at play.
If only you knew that you have what we lack,
you would cease to be kids.
Another observer.
