In The Eyes Of An Innocent Child

Have you ever looked at life, through the eyes of an innocent child?

A child can see the best in me, and everything I do.

A child can sing a simple song, and have me singing too.

A child can speak the words of truth without intent or harm.

A child can reach my broken heart with a smile and out stretched arms.

A child can imagine anything, and fill my heart with joy.

A child can comfort my lonely soul, simply by sharing a favorite toy.

A child can laugh, and make a cruel world, seem a lighter place to live.

A child can touch my hardened heart, and open my hands to give.

A child can practice their ABCs, and always want to learn.

A child can love, and expect the same love, to be given in return.

What changes the lenses of someone's eyes, that makes sight so unclear?

What gives a person the sight of a blind man, full of hatred, lust, and fear?

A child sees the beauty in everyone's soul, and never discriminates.

So, why can't we see with the eyes of an innocent child?

Let's see before for it is too late!
