Wonderful Things - Children

Their innocence;
Cute words they tell
Their first steps;
Hugs, kisses, smiles.

Seeing their surprised looks
When they open your gift;
The rocks they collect,
Snowmen they build.

Seeing them ride their bike;
Fly their kites up high,
Jump in mud puddles;
Enjoy trips to the  zoo.

Listening to them sing songs;
Count to ten or more,
Enjoy the little things in life;
Find new friends whose love is true.

The priceless things they do;
Things which help them grow,
The joy the young ones give
When they whisper "I love you."
