Sweet Smile of Innocents

Sweet smile of innocents
                         Skin so soft, sweet smells of powder scents,
                                        Nothing can compare
                                        A little innocent babe 
                                           Root of ourselves
                                      A gift to us to be valued  

                                     Sweet smile of innocents
                                  Looks upon its loving parent
                                    To warm our gentle heart 
                                           In Its safe haven
                                          Of our loving arms
                               Life special moments to remember
                     Our heritage to be carried on in this innocent soul
                 So important to model our lives with love and not hate
Children learn the ethical values by watching the actions of adults they respect
