A child's heart is full of love Bearing all the burden Holding on to every promise Even the uncertain.. A child's tears happy or sad Are real from within The cry's come from their souls Brought on by confusion.. A child thinks of only good No matter what has happened They love their mom and dad But their souls will never mend.. Hold a child oh so close don't ever let them go A gift from the all mighty Like the first fallen snow.. Unconditional love Is all that they say and more To take advantage of that Is to tear at God's core.. A child's heart is full of love Not to bear the burden But to love life to the fullest Ever so certain.. ~~ Author Unknown ~~ Visit our website for more on parenting tips:
