The innocence of a child
Always makes me smile
Their sincere questions
From the heart
Always trying to learn their part.
Trying to grasp things of life
Always watching others strive
I often wonder how much
They truely understand
Always listening, so they may grow
Deep in their eyes, if you look
Always seeking
Like an unwritten book.
Hoping they find
Great teachers to lead
Always allowing them, free to be
As their lives start to unfold
Always a new lesson to behold
I hear their little
Disappointments and hurts
Always praying they will see more
Of what life can have in store
Always hoping one day
They will understand
