Nothing truly gives a parents heart such joy
than seeing such delight in eyes of their little boy
that Christmas smile from opening a new toy,
which constant love so often does employ.
Capturing the spell seen in innocence eyes
from the magic bestowed by some special surprise.
How we renew our own dreams from youth
in those gifts of hope that a child’s accepts as truth,
we inspire by holding them in care’s sheltering booth.
What enchantment flows in a tender, sensitive mind
because the one they trust makes it something easy to find
always teaching them to believe in tomorrows
filled with more flowers and rainbows than sorrows.
It all remains so expressed in ways we cherish most
when happiness upon a young life one is able to post,
quietly feeling the song their spirit learns to sing
seeing it present in the light that it does bring.
