Through Your Eyes
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
Where everything is brand new and exciting
Curiosity shines in your wake
And countless questions burst from your eager lips
The world to you is a magical place
Filled only with laughter and love
Hugs and kisses
Sorrow and suffering are unknown to you
In your naïve world
They do not yet exist
Day after day you live your routine life
But you never get bored or cynical
Each day is a new discovery
An adventure
Where fear doesn’t hinder your progress
And when the night arrives
Bringing your day to a close
You drift off to sleep
Only knowing the comfort and safety
Found in strong arms and soft blankets
For bad memories and regrets
Never haunt your dreams
Oh, how I wish I could remember
What it was like
To see the world the way you do
Through your eyes
