A Child Being Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Beautiful smiles of an innocent child, totally trusting,
reaching out, not yet afraid of being hurt.

Talking, pointing, relating through pictures and touch,
happy, filled with joy, a little boy experiencing life
at this very moment.

Excited about his new surroundings, ready and able to
explore every nook and cranny in the lobby.

Finally, seeing a playroom filled with toys, running
in, touching, holding everything not nailed down.

Laughing, yelling, having a good time just being a child.
