Why is it <br />That no one can see <br />What I can <br />The beauty in this world <br />And the miracles <br />In this one life <br /> <br />As if the majestic mountain <br />Wasn’t enough <br />Nor the fall leaf <br />Nor is the smell of rain <br />But all this <br />I cannot resist <br /> <br />We have this one life <br />And one spirit <br />This last chance <br />To honor what’s been given <br />But we pass it up <br />For what man has made <br /> <br />For once be the innocent child <br />Who runs and plays <br />With a carefree spirit <br />Enjoying Gods simplicities <br />And not mans catastrophes. <br />Or did we forget our true meaning <br /> <br />I wish <br />All could look to the sky <br />And the stars of heaven <br />Would remind us <br />Who we really are <br />And why we’re really here.<br /><br />Britney Hogue<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-like-spirit/
