The eyes of a child appear open to the world
yet reality these eyes are blind
unawear of the challenges we must face
unable to withstand the hands of time
many obstacles before us
that with great heartach we fight to overcome
constantly reminded of the mistakes we have made, and never warned of the ones to come
who may we turn to for comfort as our world is crashing down
for this world has caused the smile of a child...to slowly become a frown
