In a child's eyes

You say to jump,

without fear she jumps.

Held so close together,

as the lights fade away.

No pain to uncover,

in the eyes of a child.

Spoken faith believing,

nothing holds her down.

Smiles to light your forever,

tears to wash away your pain.

Whispers of life seeking hope,

her eyes will never lie.

How once we knew this trust,

we can see in her life.

Flowers of beauty she finds,

new light in our winter’s fall.

Spring in rain she tests,

where we could never believe.

Falling away her youth is captured,

on the hearts of children abound.

Darkness giving way to her light,

as life starts to unfold.

Looking through a child’s eyes,

where trust and love are unbroken.
