Innocence

Child like innocence
A word of differences
Scared and yet curious
Knowing yet pondering
Seeking thoughts of many'
Growing beyond the imagination
Striking the fancy of others
Playful with the backyard world
Small in stature
Giants in their world
Innocence of a child
Trusting and yet so loving
Hands so small place in another's
Sunshine smiles, rosy cheeks
Laughter so sweet
Eyes of a clear soul
Pure as it could be
Children are born as a canvas clean and pure
Their sweetness and loving eyes
Gentle smiles and sweet laughter
Giants as care givers help paint their blank canvas
This I say stop and watch what you shall do
For when you shape and paint a childs world
So this they shall become
As giants to paint another canvas of a child
