Like a Child
Live life like a child
take joy in each new day
be happy with the little things
don't worry what others say
Don't take joy from a child
don't take their dreams away
when their imagination takes flight
listen to what they say
When a child cries or shouts
it's not always right or wrong
not stubborn but maybe broken
because they're not that strong
Think about what they've been through
consider where they are
cold rules and expectations
can only go so far
Open your mind and listen
then answer from your heart
so lessons learned will resonate
even when you're far apart
Don't be so hard, don't be so tough
let the love inside you show
your kindness just might touch someone
that you don't even know
Angry words they hurt so much
and can never be unsaid
in the silence they can haunt you
and stay inside your head
So be careful what you say
and let your anger go
it's not so complicated
not much you need to know
Give a little of yourself
ease another's load
love one another
is all you need to know
