Eyes of a Child

© by Doug Van Wyk

If all the world lost it's memory

And saw through the eyes of a child

Then thought with their simplistic theory

For only a time

From dusk till dawn

It would be embarrassed

For the deeds it's heart hadspawn.

I want a soul so full of joy-

Life's withering storms cannot destroy.

It isn't our position but our disposition that makes us happy.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.

Smile for the joy of others.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on

others without getting a few drops on yourself.
