Innocence
Little boys and little girls
Playing in the sand
Taking life for all its worth
Without a care in hand
Enjoy it all little ones
While it is you can
Before this life grabs hold of you
And you begin to understand
Time you spend with mommy
Daily in the park
Good times for you to have
Till daylight kisses dark
If you're within the sound of my voice
Take a moment where you are
Hug them tight your inner child
For all that they are worth
Childlike innocence always is
The first thing that we lose
Trying to get it back seems to be
The last thing that we choose
I'm sure we would try harder
If it is we only knew
How much losing it would change
Our very point of view
When we stop to view it all
Through wide open eyes
Hits us all so very hard
Should we be surprised
Happens to the best of us
And so goes our lives
I dream of the forgotten days
Innocence of a child
