The Face of a Child
The face of a child
is so full of joy
an effortless smile
on each girl and boy
They live life so fully
they dance and they sing
so grateful am I
for the laughter they bring
I look in amazement
their lack of concern
for the harshness of life
I wish I could learn
The face of a child
so simple, so pure
profound is their wisdom
their hope is so sure
Their souls not yet tarnished
their spirits so free
I see in their faces
what I used to be
