Unfiltered

Children’s likes and dislikes Are as obvious as rain. The way they feel is usually A cinch to ascertain. They haven’t learned to filter What they naturally express So the truth is on their faces Or the words they won’t suppress. If they love you, you’re rewarded With a snuggle and a smile And they’ll shower you with favor Like it’s going out of style. But these times are very precious For one day they will perceive That it isn’t really cool to wear Your heart upon your sleeve. So I’ll soak up all the sunshine That is beaming out my way As a buttress for the future When the filters will hold sway.
