Return to innocence A wish, a hope, a prayer With no enshrouding knowledge To corrupt, create despair No soil, no taint, no sin No heart beyond repair Returning me to innocence To life without a care Returning to childhood All memory erase All thought of pain, anxiety Now will I displace As innocence returns To be seen upon my face Returned am I to childhood Here and in this place Return to me salvation A heart to breathe once more No more vile damnation No more a soul sick-sore In reaching up, I'm living With childhood as my core Returning my salvation As grateful peace flows o'er Return to innocence The template now renewed My heart is very clear My pain has been eschewed My creed, my write, salvation Has become my food Returning me to innocence Denying my life crude Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry love, this is you, and your spirit shines in this one love it really and truly does. Utterly wonderful piece from you. And it of course joins the others there in my Kethry wing. Take care love Slushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Ah, yes, to come as a little child. Many want to go back to being young while retaining what they've learned in order to take better advantage of youth. Innocence is without experience. Coming 'as' a child is coming without the things we've seen, heard, experienced tainting a clear faith. Nicodemus asked, "How is it possible?" With man impossible, with God...;o} Wow! |

All of a sudden, I have a favorite of yours. THIS IS IT!! Wonderful penning and very insightful in many ways. This is what we should all strive for even if it is only a few minutes a day. |
