Our children are life's teachers
exposing us as they grow
showing us God's true love
in ways we didn't know.
They have fresh eyes and open hearts
and are as honest as the day is long.
They are selfish and hurt those they love
but usually admit when they are wrong.
They fully live each moment they're given
with out concern of what will be.
In they're innocent wonder of the world
they behold the miracle with simplicity.
Why do our years cover this beauty
that is a child's delight?
Why are we fearful and cautious
stumbling as if we've lost our sight.
Our children are our teachers
giving us new eyes to see.
Lord, I'm so tired of being old
please wake the child in me.
Such an accurate poem! Love it!
