There is nothing like the eyes of a child

[PernellRodocker]

Can you see behind the eyes of a child?
Can you see what is in their heart?
Everything they experience is new,
Nothing is old and falling apart.
Each morning starts a new adventure,
While each night are dreams of fun.
Waking and playing and moving about,
Skipping and dancing, daring to run.
The anticipation in the child’s heart,
Will surely help the old to jump-start.
Bold and unconditional love,
Warmth, faith, strength from above…
There is nothing like the eyes of a child,
Their glowing heart shines through like gold…
Whenever I am sad and lonely,
I stare into the eyes of a child and I never ever
Feel that I am old…
