Analysis of Eyes of a child

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)



Eyes of a child
Bright and clear
Seeing all things
For the very first time

Eyes of a child
Pure and clean
That sees the light
For the very first time

Eyes of a child
Humble and bold
That speaks the truth
For the very first time

Eyes of a child
Will always see
What is really there
For the very first time

Eyes of a child
Should be in all of us
Then we would really see
For the very first time.
