~*~ ~*~
There is a child within us
we need not hide so deep
The part of us that never grows up
is so much fun to keep

Whenever trials and pain of life
seem to take their toil
If we call upon the child within
we will find it has a roll

The child within is a refuge
when hard are storms of life
To offer a smile from memories
of when we knew not strife

Bringing to us laughter
and joy from deep within
Helping us to know that
life is possible to win

For so much in this life
could unhappy make us stay
Maybe for a part of our time
we can laugh   have fun   and play

If we will let our child self
take over for a little while
We may find upon our face
a happy little smile
