Children's Eyes <br /> <br />What kind of world is it my friend <br /> that little children see? <br />I wonder if they see God first <br /> because they just believe? <br /> <br />Do they see strength in caring eyes <br />who watch them as they play - <br />or maybe love through gentle hands <br /> that guide them on their way? <br /> <br />Do children dream of future times <br /> when they would be a king - <br />or just enjoy their present life <br /> while with their friends they sing? <br /> <br />And when the day is over - <br />as they close their eyes to sleep - <br />do children look forward to tomorrow <br /> with its promises to keep? <br /> <br />If this is what our children see <br /> then it should be no surprise - <br />the world would be a better place <br /> if we all had children's eyes. <br /> <br />Tom Krause - 2000<br /><br />Tom Krause<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/children-s-eyes-4/
