A Secret Disguise

Children of all ages
Are special you see
We want them to belong
To both you and to me.

We want to hold them
And to laugh and play.
And to hear, "I love you"
Before they go on their way.

They want to play games
Where they are the winner of course
And they think they are stronger
Or they are a mightier force.

All the children near us
Hold a secret disguise.
If you want to see love
Just look in their eyes.
