CHILDREN

Tears and smiles
interchangable
woven
through swirling emotions
roller coasters
rumbling infinitely on
reaching hearts and souls
lost along the way

Tiny hands
snatching
grabbing
at the smallest details
broken pieces 
glued together 
by chubby fingers
quietly altering 
our lives 

Laughing eyes
thoughtful gazes
consideration
of every little thing
fixing mistakes
healing ancient wounds
wise beyond their years

Tender moments
precious innocence 
changing us every day
hold onto
those smallest chances
clutched to our hearts
our only hope
of redemption
