Beautiful Child

yesterday i had to say goodbye to a child with the purest soul
i felt when she stared into my eye's she could of picked the lock to my soul and heart
        when you stare into the eyes of a newborn you will understand that
their body is pure and free of sin,, and sometimes it reminds you of yourself
and how pure our heart and soul is at the first moment of our lifes
and you forget how our lives will turn out
and we think of god's greatest creation......... life

we need more people to let go of raw emotion in writing. I feel this way when looking into the innocence of children's eyes.

I am so touched by this beautiful piece. So sad, yet beautifully written from the heart and soul
