I love how children

always see the bright side

on every dark thing.

I love when they smile,

because that warms you up.

That gives you something

to live and die for.

I love when they laugh,

Because then, you laugh.

You get that happy feeling

inside of you that gives you

hope in you and your life.

I love when they can tell

when you are sad or pretending

to be happy.

They hug you with their

tiny arms and put their little

heads against your chest

and tell you,

“Don’t worry, everything will

be fine, I promise. I’m

here for you. I love you.”

That brings tears in your eyes

as you snug you head next to theirs

and hold them tight to you

like a childhood teddy bear.

You smile as your tears

fall on your shirt. You say,

“I know you are

and I always will be here for you,

forever to the end

I love you, too.”
