Through a Child's Eyes

If you smile at a child, they'll smile back no matter what you look like Children don't care about your race, gender or your size They don't have the mindset to hate, judge or fight It would be so much better if we all could look through a child's eyes Every child is born without any hate in their heart They don't care about your skin colour and will laugh if you play games with them They're a lot smarter than adults who let ignorant reasons to keep them apart Instead of dismissing kids, we should try and be the same as them Kids don't judge based on race, beauty or looks They'll be grateful if you give them attention or read them a book They don't follow trends, or join hate groups Most children have better morales than adults And that's the truth A kid will grab your hand and show love No matter what skin colour you have Sometimes I think children are more mature than grown ups We don't give kids enough credit and I think that's sad A child won't ignore you for being different They'll embrace you if you sit with them They'll laugh and joke with all of their parents friends They don't judge a soul & that's the best message a person can send If you smile at a child, they'll smile back no matter what you look like Children don't care about your race, gender or your size They don't have the mindset to hate, judge or fight It would be so much better if we all could look through a child's eyes

Children are a lot smarter than we give them credit for, thank you so much :)

Such truth, my daughter was seven before she asked why her best friend had black skin. Smiling is infectious and children always have a ready smile when given one.

Exactly kids look at the world with innocence and love, no malice or hate, Sadly adults.don't do the same
