Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

A childs laughter fills the room
makes me forget all my worries
for just a moment
I look into his innocent eyes
I hear his plea
brings me out of my reverie
"I am thirsty please"
Nothing else matters to him
Not time
Not lonliness
Not money
Nor bills
this child so sweet
so full of thrills
he gulps down his water
he's off again
playing his games
of makebelieves and pretend
he knows not of heatrache
of wars
or desease
he only knows there's a magic word
we told him it is "please"
this word can make
all things possible for him
look what it did for Tiny Tim
so he asks me why I'm crying
I dont know what to say
he dries my eyes on his sleeve
and says "Come,You can play"< !signature-->

JulieAnn~
This is absolutely precious !
What a delight to start off the day !
Nothing like the smile of a child to brighten up the day.

You have put the pen to an excellent piece.  If only we could keep that innocence of the child with us for our entire life.  Wouldn't life be grand?
