*the*beautiful*eyes*of*a*child*

In the eyes of a child ~ This innocence of their life * The shyness of their smiles Humbled, untainted.... Filled with acceptance and love ~ To embrace this purity again These views in awe; depths of sincerety All is one and one is all.... Hear their laughter and hold their joy ~ My eyes have been poisoned, by time Is it possible I ask, to find a portal Or is it too late, as I look into the skies?! I have lived long enough to have learned by now Life can only beget, what it begot.... Not in this place; nowhere to be found This fountain of youth ~ Longing, burning in these eyes, falling tears I look at the child, who's face, I can no longer Remember!? I look at them now, and I look at the sky ~ I have lived long enough to have learned Their only hope, mine; these eyes of a child.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “My Gift to You, Shall Be My Life.” *
