Life through the eyes of a child

by Broken_Dreamer

Spring dew glistens on a bended reed
Sun beams turn her green eyes blue
Enthusiastic eyes glance up to greet the dawn
The world can’t help but smile

In the summer fairytales come to life
she singsand hums song bird melodies
As the world sings with her

She cries tears of pity
As the fall of leaves reveals a barren landscape
Instead of mourning
She makes of mural of their beauty
And the world paints with her

Snowflakes shimmer on her lashes
She tosses her head lightly
bringing a million stars falling to the ground
The world around her shines like diamonds

In the morning she greets the day with a smile
As darkness descends, her laugh draws the stars out of hiding
When the sun is high, she is happy
When clouds float in, she names them
The world is her playground

Night brings back the twinkling promise of anticipation
With a magic wand every day is renewed
Decorations of flowers and leaves scattered like confetti
The world is new and old and beautiful
Life through the eyes of a child

your poem was extremely beautiful it made me yearn to be a child again, just to remember what it was like believing in fairytale life was good and not as hard as it is now just brought back a lot of memories of a good life where everything was magical and friends never said good bye and time was ageless to much has passed since that time when i was but just a child so to say i enjoyed your poem would be a understatement because it was the best of the best and i hold it up on a high beam because it is all that

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I treasure each poem and every comment, this means a lot to me.

    I decided that life is to short to ever completely grow up and I will hold on to every remnant of it I can. I always ease the pain of paying bills with a coloring book and crayons, and nothing melts away a bad day like blowing bubbles. My mom laughs at me for doing it but sometimes I think she is just jealous... Very Happy
