Innoncence Poem by Janis Land Raymer

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a child?
I mean really looked?
Or maybe watched them sleep?
The sweet musical laughter-
innoncence.
Young, untouched, undamaged by the world's...
cynicism,
hatred,
danger.
When do we lose those child-like qualities?
When do we stop seeing the beauty of a sunrise?
the cuteness of a bunny-
the vastness of our universe-
the freedom of rain-
the majesty of a mountain range-
'How does this work daddy? '
'What makes the choo-choo train go? '
When do we become callous?
When do we stop caring?
When do we lose our curiosity...
our innoncence.
