A child's eyes...... so innocent. She sees faith, hope, she sees love, but no doubt.

So innocent her eyes, open to new possibilties, and free. Innocence that is lost with age.

Then and only then her eyes grow weak, her eyes grow vain....with greed, pride, lust, wrath, sloth, envy and gluttony. So bitter her eyes become.

Full of fear, hate and despair.

The wonder, the curiosity vanishes.

In one split second everything she has, is gone.

A child's eyes so happy, so gentle.... I don't want to grow says the child..... I don't want to lose my innocence.
