Innocence Poem by Billy Loving

Through the eyes of a child
World so meek and so mild
A dog running down the road
No burden, no heavy load
All as peaceful as can be
As they peek from behind a tree
Homework all done
Time for some fun
Outside they go
So fast they grow
Kicking a ball
A simple pleasure, so small
Lying in the sun
Work for the day done
Running here and there
Without a single care
A pad to draw
Images of what they saw
Bicycle's pleasing ride
Innocence inside
Darkening of the sky
As the evening passes by
Inside they disappear
As the moon begins to reappear
Ending of another day
As their prayers, they begin to say
