Wyatt

A spirit so free without a care in the world
Oblivious to the dangers in life
He feels safe in a stranger’s lap laying curled

Oh his innocence is so beautiful
If only it would last a lifetime
A young unscathed precious little soul

The love in his heart he expresses with words
Never knowing rejection he remains vulnerable
His voice so tiny yet so easily heard

Maybe we are the ones who are blind
We teach them even though we need taught
Oh how much we can learn from a child’s heart and his mind
