Through the Eyes of a 15 Year Old

Through the Eyes of a Child

Through the eyes of an adult,

I see much, too much, reality

But through the eyes of a child,

I see the world as it isn’t but as I would like it to be

I visualize candy canes and sand castles

Replacing heartache and misery

I see love instead of hatred

I see happiness instead of anger

I see laughter instead of tears

I see honesty instead of lies

I see understanding instead of sarcasm

I see light instead of darkness

I see good instead of evil

I see security instead of fear

Most of all, through the eyes of a child, I see compassion

This is something I cannot see as clearly through the eyes of an adult,

It is gradually fading into another world

And, can only be seen through the eyes of a child.
