Through the Eyes of a Child I Am Blinded

Through the eyes of a child I am blinded

Blinded to racism;
For love has no colors.
Blinded to selfishness;
For all life matters.
Blinded to greed;
For money is not happiness.
Blinded to self pity;
For the heart carries hope.
Blinded to regret;
For life is about learning.
Blinded to grief;
For love never dies.
Blinded to pain;
For the courage to heal.
Blinded to anger;
For laughter is medicine.
Blinded to untruths;
For the truth is lived.
Blinded to hate;
For Creator loves all.
