Through A Child's Eyes by Catyrose

Her eyes shine brighter
Than the twinkling lights
Placed with care upon the Christmas tree

Into her stocking she begins to reach
The beginning of a priceless lesson
Only the innocent are able to teach

With each new trinket she holds in the palm of her hand
A look of absolute wonder is revealed on such a sweet face
Something we grown-ups often allow the years to erase

Everything is beautiful in a child’s eyes
Even the simplest things
Have the power to mesmerize

Words of gratitude spill effortlessly from her lips
As she runs into my arms
Hugging me tightly and bestowing a sweet and gentle kiss

Lost in the moment
Overcome with delight
Such warm and lasting memories
We have built here tonight

Brings back recent memories.
How recent? Today.
Almost makes me wish I had my own kids.
Other peoples kids are good too. Especially today.
The 3rd stanza helps me recall my own wonder about a little horse (molded from plastic) which was in my stocking about 60 years ago. I couldn't imagine what material this "plastic" could be. It's clear that it made a lasting impression on me.
