The Face of a Child

Heartstrings grow longer,

Emotions run stronger,

Passing along every Saturday smile.

Feeding the hunger,

Singing a song or a

Nursery rhyme pulled from a forgotten file.

Gender's no matter,

Nor thinner, nor fatter,

The clatter and chattering need not make sense.

The needed response in the

Wide-eyes of wonder contain

All the joy of required recompense.

The innocence born to

The nature of humans,

The sweet gentle creed

Of the meek and the mild,

The awe and the wonder

Of worlds undiscovered,

Uniquely in place

In the face of a child.
