If I Could See Through The Eyes Of A Child

Children without knowing it can make a difference in the way we see things through their innocence. They aren't aware of the word hurt or the thought of it. They cry at the fear of someone being upset with them and don't understand where this feeling comes from and immediately wonders, how may I fix it. If just once I could see through the eyes of a child.

             If I Could See
   Through The Eyes Of A Child


Don't be angry for it isn't right,
To use bad words or start a fight,
Just say you are sorry and smile,
This is the way it is seen by a child.


If just for once I could see,
Through the eyes of a child,
The good side of things,
Yes just once in awhile.


Kiss and make up, say you are sorry,
Be nice and don't be unkind, just love,
Smile at each other, be gentle and kind,
What have we learned from God up above.


We are all the same, inside and out,
Our heart can break in a short while,
God how I wish for once, if I could see,
Through the eyes of a child.


Not knowing the meaning of hate,
Not causing someone to shed a tear,
Just spreading that thing they call love,
Letting the world know that we care.

Rose,this is beautiful, and yes I have to agree with Fee, we as grandparents are able to transgress back and see more clearly what we didn't see as parents. Great write.

So very true and I think as grandparents we tend to be able to transgress back and see through a childs eyes more clearly than we could as parents. We are not so wrapped up in all the day to day work of living as parents so when we play or see our grandkids we can reach down to their level. Just my thoughts anyway Rose. Hugs.
