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
