The Eyes of a Child

The eyes of a child see so much
They see the world at ease
They even feel the slightest touch
Of air drifting in the breeze

They see when there is sadness
When it isn't even shown
They look right past the madness
When sometimes we still don't

They see more in us
Than we can ever find
They are unconditional, plus
They have the love God binds

The eyes of a child see love first
The rest comes with time
They love you when you're at your worst
Im thankful they are mine

Indeed, the eyes of a child see sooooo much
and we .....adults are too blinded to see all that they see.....

I've really enjoyed this soft twinkling piece......

Thank you dear......

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

C,
   The greatest gift that can be given to us are our children. We can see so much beauty through their eyes that we are too blind to see through ours alone. This is beautiful...

Thanks Chris for bringing this forward. It is a gentle read. Nicely done Cindi.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
