Feelings of a Child

Never underestimate the feelings of a child 
Very small they may be but very sensitive inside

Too young you may think to understand 
The complex way of life and what is going on around

But believe me when I say they understand much more 
Than you could ever give them credit for

Every little detail is taken in and stored 
Every little thing they see,hear and more

Small they might be but hearts so big 
Sensitive to the way they are treated and live

Little people thats what they are 
More intelligent than some adults by far

Not to be treated as if not in sight 
Not to be ignored when you feel like

Listen to everything they want to say 
There is a reason they are talking this way

Remember a child will often hide 
The hurt and pain they maybe feeling inside

A child maybe very small
But their feelings and emotions are very tall
