LOST INNOCENCE

[Bobpower]

Remember our lives as only a child?
How innocent we were, and it showed in our smile

We had no thoughts what tomorrow might bring
It was the laughter of the day that made our hearts sing

Even when bad we were forgiven of much
For our innocence endured in the lives that we touched

And when we get older as time passes by
The innocence we lose though no one knows why

Desire and knowledge seem to replace what we lost
If only we were able to understand the cost

When worries start and the struggles we say
I wish to be a child if just for one more day

The children of Jesus are often called his brethren
Our innocence he exclaimed, will be a key to heaven

So, don’t bury your innocence deeper than it is
Uncover what you lost and make your life now his

You think this may be easy. I tell you it’s the hardest thing you’ll do
But if you never try, he’ll never see you through

Beautiful! Just beautiful! As children we didn't seem to worry! The best medicine was laughter. We would pick ourselves when we got hurt. But as adults, we forget the innocence and faith that we had. This is a really good poem that should be read by all! Very deep and meaningful!
