Child Heart Poem by Ryan Lee Morris

My body is an adult.
But my heart is a child.
I give cause it's loving.
And it makes my heart smile.

Some say I'm too sensitive.
When they make my heart cry.
Their words can be cutting.
Or thoughts they imply.

Young at heart so they say.
Love so tender and pure.
Your unloving intentions.
My child heart insecure.

It took most of my life.
To know what was true.
To pursue what you love,
Love what you pursue.

Lesson from an angel.
It is my belief.
Let me steal back your heart.
But not like a thief.

My time machine heart.
Once hard like a rock,
Now soft like a kitten.
Reversing the clock.

My love it has changed.
Your heart I will cherish.
With it far away.
My child heart will parish.

Love, it is simple.
It's so black and white.
Yet we make it so gray.
Like clouds hide sunlight.

Now I love like a child.
Cause I have a child heart.
Let it bring us together.
Let us have a new start.
