Childhood Innocence.

Goldfinch60



I hear the voice,

A smile comes to my mind.

The sound of innocence,

So wonderful to be heard.

I look over the fence

And see him,

He looks at me, unsure,

This new man to him.

Each day he sees me it gets better,

I wave,

He waves,

There is almost a smile.

But it is the sound of young life

That gives me so much joy,

The wonder in his sound

When he finds something new,

To intrigue his learning mind.

The innocence of childhood

Is so wonderful.

If only it could go on forever

The world in which we live

Would be such a better place.

              Every time I hear a BABY cry
              Or touch a leaf or see the sky
              Then I know why I believe !

The next generation and preserving the PLANET for them ~ AMEN ~ Thanks for caring BRIAN ! Guitar is my FIRST INSTRUMENT and I love CHET ~ a real bonus ~ B !

                The innocence of childhood is so special. Thank you Brian.

                To keep up the Bible names from the two you mentioned Brian this young boys name is Reuben.

                And to think our Creator revealed to us that being “childlike” is the natural state we have been created for to live life to its fullest. An instructive write...

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank yoy Gary. It is such a shame that the natural state our Creator revealed to us changes as age advances.
