Your Poetry Dot Com - Through the Eyes of A Child*

If I could look through the eyes of a child.......
And see all there is to see,
I'd take notice of all the beautiful things that surrounds me.
The bright blue sky, the stars at night, the sun that shines above.
All the beauty that nature bestows us, kissed by Gods own love.

Through the eyes of a child the world would be a happier and safer place.
Everyone would just run and play,
No winners in this race.
Just fun and laughter for all to share........
No one would be left out.
All are welcome to join in the fun,
No time to sit and pout.

We'd run through the tallest grass.........
Or climb the highest tree,
Catch butterflies, or dig for worms.......
To go fishing, you and me.
We would climb up to our tree house, sit and talk a while,
About what we would do next, our list went on for miles.

Before we knew it, Mommy was calling us in for lunch.
All the children would run to my house.......
To sit, drink and munch.
When lunch was over, we'd be off to explore the world again.
Running through corn fields, playing king of the mountain...........
Here we called everyone friend.

We as adults should take notice of all there is to see,
Through the eyes of a child.....a much beautiful world it would be.
For him, her, you and I.........
All are welcome to come and play.
Hang on to the thoughts of our children,
In hopes that tomorrow will be a better day.

I Salute the Children!
