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 mabye love through gentle hands <br />that guide them on their way? <br /> <br />do you think they 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 />do they see the acts of kindness <br />done for people who are poor? <br />Is the very best in everyone <br />what they are looking for <br /> <br />and when the day is over <br />as they close their eyes to sleep <br />do they look forward to tomorrow <br />with its promises to keep? <br /> <br />If this is what the 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 />Ashley Olson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-childs-world/
