Description
Everyday,I watch over
Her,
Sweet Child
Of mine.
My eyes smile,
When she dances.
My heart leaps,
When she laughs.
My soul melts,
When she stretches
Out her hands
To shout
"Lift me higher!
Make me fly."
My spirit weeps,
When she wanders
Into the dangers
I've tried so hard
To protect her from.
But my Being rejoices
When she returns
Again to me
Once more
To fill my
existence with joy.

Hey, I love this poem. It's painted with so many memories, that I can empathise with; I like the perspective you write in, where it is God looking after his little child. "Lift me higher! Make me fly"...Who hasn't ever said or dreamt this when they were a kid? hehe

aww, thank you anjali!
that's what disgusts me most in my highschool, being innocent is considered uncool for some stupid reason
I know exactly what you mean, childrens' attidues about even the simplest things are so refreshing!

thanks! I bet God just loves it when we let him dote on us like a father and his children, instead of trying to be all mature all the time

I do think so also. He does want us to come to Him as little children.
