Cherished Children

A childs laughter is a precious sound, 
To watch them smile as they play around, 
Filled with gleeful giggles that resound, 
It will fill the blackest of hearts with joyful glee, 
As they run in the wind hair wild completely carefree, 
Not a single widowed worry whispering in there ear, No agenda no fear glowing with an innocent endear, There souls filled and glow with the purest of light, They truly are a precious delight to have in sight, 
To cradle such beauty within ones arms, 
Or encase there tiny hands in our giant palms, 
It truly is a blessing to be hold, Or so I am told, 
To have a child is a gift from himself up above, Created by the angles and sent down a beautiful dove, 
A child teaches us compassion, patience, and love, The unconditional kind that you behoves, 
There clever cheek filled with wit and humour, 
As they grow from toddler up to junior, 
With aspirations like being a zoo keeper in the future,  Or maybe a dancer, doctor or police officer, 
You pray its filled with happiness each and everyday, As yours have always been since there first birthday.
