A Different Perspective
See through the eyes of the innocent.
Feel the joys of the naïve.
Sense their untainted good nature,
Taste their fiery passion for life.
Learn from their acceptance,
And take from their love.
The world would be a better place,
If people lived as children.
There would be no need for war,
No greed,
No racism.
Holding hands,
Singing songs.
Laughter would consume us.
Love could unite us.
See through the eyes of a child.
Love through the heart that is yours.
