The innocence
And unyielding love
The way they comfort you
When you are at a loss.
The way they smile
At the simplest things.
A ladybug's touch
Or a butterfly's wings.
They way they seem to be so smart
Though they have no education.
The way their simple question
Can open a whole new world of exploration.
The way their tender hold
Is so loving and mild.
It's a pity that the world
Can't be more like a child.
