Through the Eyes of a Child

Through the Eyes of a Child

Riding bikes and climbing a favorite tree,

Why can't that simplicity always be?

Believing in magic and fairy tales,

Once we age our innocence fails.

Remember the wonders of being young

Now belief is so far flung.

I miss those days in my youth

Before it was ruined with truth

Childhood is covered in a beautiful haze

It makes me wish I could recapture those days.

To believe so completely and blindly in all

It almost seems like aging from grace make us fall

The wonder of childhood and all of its fun
Is somehow corrupted by aging and unceremoniously undone.

So many are mistreated and made to grow up before their time

I wonder if those parents realize their crime.

And so all parents should treat their children good

Do not steel or ruin their beautiful childhood.
