Hope gives lightness to the child <br />That gives him strength to fly <br />To places not yet dreamed of, <br />For in his heart so wild <br /> <br />Are running streams as free, <br />As ever child could wish to find, <br />And love enables him to see <br />With eyes much older than they be. <br /> <br />His words still innocent and mild <br />May blur the line of cause, effect: <br />His stumbling tongue is not his fault; <br />He speaks in childhood's dialect. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jan.2 2010<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-gives-lightness-to-the-child/
