Ode to You

October 14, 2014

You've came into this world

Naive, Sincere, Harmless

Just like any kid should

Adore, Cherish, Exalt

 

You have no idea what the world is like,

Horrible, Fearful, Kind, Gentle

People rushing place to place,

Friends playing, dancing, and rejoicing,

 

Loving, attached and warm-hearted

Parents who would give the world up for you,

Be generous, expressive and doubtful,

Don't mess this one chance up, kid.


The author's comments:

My baby cousin inspired me because she is so young and innocent. She doesn't have a clue what the world is like. All she knows is how much love she is getting and how much love she has for everything, such as family, nature, and animals! I hope people get from this is that the world is beautiful but can also be kind of fearful at the same time and to always try and keep your innocence.
