Gift Of Love

I wrote this one for my sister and her child.

Heavenly bliss is the love of a child,
running and laughing with energy so wild.
Untouched by hate, prejudice, and deceit,
their bright eyes and innocent souls can`t be beat.

Capture their smiles, and embrace their hearts,
for you never know when they will depart.
Saying goodbye, one precious tear at a time,
joyful memories you store in your mind.

Never forgetting the sound of running feet,
or the slow, steady rythm of a fragile heartbeat.
Learning from the love that they left behind,
stand up this day, and dare all to try and find,
a more priceless treasure than your child, or mine.
