Children's Eyes

What kind of world is it
that little children see
I wonder if they see God first
because they just believe

Do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play-
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way

Do you think they dream of future times
when they would be king-
or just enjoy a present life
while with their friends they sing

Do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor
Is the very best in everyone
just what they are looking for?

And when the day is over,
as they close their eyes to sleep
do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?

If this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes

Hi! I really like your poem.We all still have the child inside of us,though injured, hurt,and in pain,she's still there.We have to find her, build up her strength.At times we still need her to guide us,to play with our children and understand the way they look at things.When were grieving,like I am for my Mom that passed.I try to stay in touch with my inner child to help my son,even at 5 he's grieving over his Nana.Not only do I try to feel other's pain,I try to fix it,I can at times give good advice,but as far as taking care of myself without a kick in the *** from my Mom,I'm lost.I must find my inner chid and heal her,for she's the one that misses and needs her Mommy the most.The peom just brought some feelings I needed to get out! Thank You for that! God bless,Jen

Children and animals are the only things we have innocent left in this world. That's why it's so wonderful to look through the eyes of a child.
No wonder Jesus said the kingdom of heaven belong to the little children.
