Child-like Innocence

A poem written with my six lil' sibs in mind.

Sweet serene faces

Filled with childish wisdom.

Beautiful bright eyes

Reflecting the future.

Shining smiles

Like rainbows,

Glimmering hope in the rain.

 

Be careful what you hear

Little ears.

Be careful what you say

Little mouth.

Don't strip away

Your child-like innocence.

 

Who would defile

Such a halo of hope?

Who would take

Away the sunshine

To leave nothing but bitterness?

 

Please.

Leave us our innocence.
