A Pure Heart

by Robert Daniel Long   Sep 15, 2008


Have you ever
Watched a child
Really..................., Watch a child

Theres a gentle heart
Reaching out
From within

Beating true and kind
Tenderly seeking
Love and praise
In all they do

Believing............, blindly
And without question
Such is the heart Of a child

Loving unconditionally
And
Always seeing hope

For a better day
And a brighter tomorrow

They don't need proof
They've foresight to see
They trust
Not seeking favor

From anyone..................,
Or anything

Embracing life
With vigor
And with faith and fervor
Knowing...........,There's good in everything

Forsaking the bad
Trying to please
All the encounter

Such is the heart
Of a child
The pure heart
Of innocents and content

Looking up to you
They strive..............,
To be like you

Hold them close
And
Unlock the secrets
Of their hearts

Those secrets
Held by a child
With a pure heart
