Understanding

Sweet angel child

With star crafted eyes

Your wonder is understanding

Life flashes us by

Too quickly and how sickly

With sadness we can become

Until one touches us

Or we find the sun

Out of the burrow

To life lined with beauty

And fun, we all understand

The smiles and good things

You’ve done, even at times

When the bee stings

Or wasp stung

Your heart to the creator

Is flawless and spun

So lift your eyes

Like butterflies

And flush the feeling of

Misunderstanding surprise

Signs will guide you back

Even more young

To fields of green

And songs that you sung.
