Like A Child

The simplistic approach of the child that we absolutely adore
Is the innocent and trusting soul we used to be, so long before,
When there was a faith that lived there in the heart of a child.
Laughter echoed all around and joy abounded behind that radiant smile.

Total involvement in the simple joys that spring unbidden from the soul.
In their hearts, there is no thought of ever growing old.
All is an adventure to be lived every single day:
"Life is for living, and I am here to live it and to stay.

Their faith is fresh and real, and they accept you, whatever your name.
They forgive so generously. They aren't impressed with the world's fame.
They're not biased or prejudiced. To them, we're all the same.
None of us likely remember the day we lost that innocence, or who was to blame
