The Age of Innocence
By: Susan Maree Jeavons
A little child with much to give,
and still his whole life to live,
can look at life with purity,
befriend a bird, a beast, a tree.
He’ll touch, hear, see, and
taste without a quantity of haste.
And in his youthful innocence--
miracles need not make sense.
To be a child’s his only care,
of grownup things, he’s unaware.
He knows not good or bad you see,
a child is all he wants to be.
So parents guard your little ones,
precious daughters, beloved sons,
for they possess pure poetry,
when they are six or eight or three.
