Blue eyes are watching you
So young and innocent
So full of mischief, too
Shhh ! Please keep my secrets
Please promise you won't tell
That I've been up to childish tricks
And raising merry hell

The innocence of children is always truly delightful. Many thanks for reading and commenting.

Doesn't that sound just like a little child. Excellent write. Though short, it got across the message so well and I certainly have a smile on my face. Thank you for entering and the best in the contest.

I raised five kids of my own and helped with six grandchildren, so;--- I write from experience. They are all so lovely when they are little and you know they are up to something, yet forgive them every time you catch them out.
I really appreciate your comments, thrilled to bit s, in fact. Thank you.

Having had the pleasure and frustration of five little blue-eyed innocents, I can sure relate to this poem. And I have some grandchildren and great grandchildren who seem to have followed closely in their parents footsteps.
Your poem brings back some wonderful memories. too, of days gone by and children grown... still innocent, yeah but maybe not quite so much as when they were young, I think
Good luck in the contest

Like you Dee, I think my children can do no wrong. I know differently. Mine have all grown and gone their own ways, so too the grandchildren, but one great grandchild still has that blued eyed innocence. Memories. Sigh ..
Thank you for commenting, I love to find i am not alone in this big wide world.

Children are so innocent when they are tiny, yet they can be the cause of so much disruption in the house. Butter would not melt in their mouths either. Thanks for your thoughts and comments. I am pleased my little darlings have all grown up and made their own lives.

Thank you for your kindness and comments. The poem strikes a chord with many older people, like myself, who have watched their innocent children grow up.

Hey Bob
I have to say this little cutie reminds me of my grandson. And in doing so brings a big smile to my face my friend.

Thanks Bob, bringing a smile to your face has made my day complete. It also reminds me of my own children and grandchildren. A special thank you, my friend

A great write...when my "blue eyed innocent" was little...he was so mischievous and cheeky..and had "that look"...which somehow managed to get him out of TOO much strife.
A wonderful poem, that I can well relate to.

Many thanks for commenting, I appreciate hem all. I had one daughter and one granddaughter who fitted this poem perfectly. So attractive to look at, yet so full of mischief. Both grew up to do well in life.

Well your words certainly marry well with the prompt. Isn't it just always the angelic looking kids that raise the most hell! Lol. Good luck...alby

I have experience with blue eyes in children. My daughter and a granddaughter both had that pretty blue eyed innocent look, both were mishievious. Many thanks Alby, for your continued support.

One of my daughters was just like the poem, also a granddaughter. Blue eyed innocent children don't exist. They are all up to mischief. Many thanks for your thoughts and feedback.
