THE LIFE OF A CHILD

 

There is nothing more charismatic then the enthusiastic smile of a child 
Full of imagination, they see the world as unexplored and wild 
They are empty slates of possibility that create life's art anew
A child sees the wonder in all the little things they do 

Never hinder their curiosity or extinguish their spark of life 
Inspire their inquisitiveness and direct them to do what’s right 
A child is a pure soul that can be corrupted by our selfish needs
They are creatures of innocence who are born alien to biased greed 
The eyes of a child see the promise of what life can possibly be 
The world is a question and they look for answers adults can't see

No, 
There is nothing more precious than the life of an innocent child 
They look for us to guide them and they seek only to make us proud.

The word Endearing comes to mind when reading this, and I believe I'm not the only one who thinks so... You have expressed a genuine heartfelt write. I agree, a child is a "pure soul"...
"For they are creatures of innocence who are born alien to biased greed
The eyes of a child see the promise of what can possibly be"~Beautifully written... :)
