The Innocence of a Child

A new life to live One to look upon One with so much to give At each new break of dawn Little fingers on each little hand Ten toes on both feet So much to understand A new challenge to meet Tiny eyes on a soft face Little nose and a small chin A little one in his place Of innocence and smooth skin A new life and a new friend Who looks at you with a smile What a gift God will send In the innocence of a life worthwhile A gift of God's love Something sweet and not wild Sent from the skies up above In the innocence of a child.
