A CHILD'S LOVE


These children are happy all of the time
As I watch them, I know it is a sign
The laughter that they possess, is hard to describe
No worries, no fears; always alive
Some climb the steps and enjoy the slide
Two others on the teeter-totter, just love the ride
The little girl with curls, attempts the climber
With a little boy following, right behind her
In the tunnel they go, as the screaming begins
One boy pretends he's a ghost, howling within
There goes my daughter, sitting on the swing
"Give me an underdog, Daddy?" she asks, "I love those things."
Nicole climbs the monkey bars, with ease
As Olivia pleads again, "Higher, please?"
These children have given me a reason to live
Because of the love and the joy that they give
The next time you see them, give them a hug
Because they have us the greatest gift of all...
LOVE
