Eyes of a Child

Life is often more tender and mild, When seen through the eyes of a child Their innocence takes me by the heart, To think that’s where we all start. But just look what we have become. Often depressing and partially numb. I hope they stay just the way they are. Always in search of that distant star. Loving with out any fear, And looking at life , vivid and clear. I guess the gives us children to open our hearts and mind, To a part of ourselves we had long ago left behind. Because although their thoughts are simple, they are true. They don’t know the hesitation or fear that you and I do. For they love with out holding any thing back, And experience a simple joy that you and I lack. They are truly untamed and wild. And I thank God for showing me the world through The eyes of a child. Sarah Comstock 1-19-2010
