Face of innocence
so trusting..so sincere
Twinkling eyes beholding
beauty of far and near

Pitter-patter of little feet
music to one's ear
Hands reaching out lovingly
touching the heart..so dear

Love so tender and innocent
Sweet million dollar smile
Laughter ringing out
from a precious child



Filling hearts with joy..
future stories to be told
Sweetest gift of heaven
worth more than..
silver or gold.

~ � Martha Franks April 28, 2001~

A child will make
love stronger,
days shorter,
nights longer,
the home happier,
the past forgotten,
and the future
worth living for.
