Born to Innocence
All children are born to innocence
knowing only joy and love
The world hasn’t spoken yet
to break their hearts
It shows reality
turn from pleasure and happiness
to pain and sorrow
They will have to learn
to love or hate
Oh little one, oh little one
if you wouldn’t grow old
you wouldn’t have to know
this world is ugly
You’d know only beauty
The children are alone
with their hearts of gold
They are born to innocence

So sad, we should be able to do better! Excellent poem!
excellent poem ...
This is such a poignant and tender write from a man with a heart of gold. What you say here is so true and I wish so much that innocence would never be lost. I wish innocence for myself.
Much love precious friend
