Out Of The Mouth Of Babe’s

In the radiance of a child
We see that in which is missed
Never knowing our lack
Until confronted with its purity

Simplicity and pure honesty
Which is lost upon aging in
A world always striving forward
For knowledge and personal gains

In order to achieve that in which
Is needed to maintain solid footing
Demanding of us more and more
Just beyond arm’s length, just out of reach!

But at what cost do we move forward?
When does it become acceptable
To subconsciously forget the humbleness
Of our true natural nature

They say out of the mouth of babe’s
Comes truths pure and divine
For every successful person
There lies a child just beneath the skin

So the next time life seems to ask
Just a little too much or angers the soul
Turn your attention to the child in you
Gleam the true nature you were born with

If you can not find resolve
Go to a child and look upon his soul
There lies the true beauty of life shining
So evidently and open your heart wide


By, Cerenity

This is beautiful.  It is a shame how early children can lose this this innoncence and truth when not watched over and loved.  Joyce

Cerenity~
So nicely done, my dear.

'So the next time life seems to ask
Just a little too much or angers the soul
Turn your attention to the child in you
Gleam the true nature you were born with

If you can not find resolve
Go to a child and look upon his soul
There lies the true beauty of life shining
So evidently and open your heart wide'
