A child sees the beauty we have long forgotten <br />treasures we have yet to find <br />A child knows trust beyond suspicion <br />A child has an innocent mind <br /> <br />Love is given without question <br />A touch a kiss a moment shared <br />A Little blessing born from passion <br />All open and giving without a care <br /> <br />But shatter that with careless thought <br />examples set that cause them pain <br />A child will quickly lose their innocence <br />and never be able to trust again <br /> <br />So think about your precious child <br />Be a parent who holds love dear <br />Teach good values and gentle kindness <br />and show your child <br />they have nothing to fear<br /><br />Janice M Pickett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-42/
