With the guidance of a child
We can learn
To see the world with the purest
Most loving terms
Small children have a gift
That is amazing
At times I think they are
Doing the raising
Their souls are like that of
A heavenly cherub
Free from the tarnish
That needs a clean up rub
Each word of curiosity
Is sincere
Each new discovery brings
A smile so dear
Sometimes they do wrong
Without intention
It is a challenge for us to
Correct with introspection
Losing one’s temper does not
Mend the error
Explaining why and showing how
Eliminates terror
Yes, a small child can teach us
How to respond
With a gentle voice and a hug
That soothes and bonds
