the innocence of a child
I heard your voice and smiled
the innocence of a child
pealed like a bell
on a Sunday morning
like it was time to thank God
for the stillness of summer
a joyous laugh overtook me
your playfulness shook me
as if I had been dreaming
and gently awoke
to your melodious calling
I couldn't help falling
deep into your innocence
a chord was struck
and echoed through
the fibers of my being
I felt I was seeing
deep into your essence
the tones were so familiar
so comfortable
like a favorite pillow
that lulls me to sleep
like sacred music
I'll always keep
close to my heart
to remind me
of the innocence
in a child's voice
the innocence of a child
pealed like a bell
on a Sunday morning
like it was time to thank God
for the stillness of summer
a joyous laugh overtook me
your playfulness shook me
as if I had been dreaming
and gently awoke
to your melodious calling
I couldn't help falling
deep into your innocence
a chord was struck
and echoed through
the fibers of my being
I felt I was seeing
deep into your essence
the tones were so familiar
so comfortable
like a favorite pillow
that lulls me to sleep
like sacred music
I'll always keep
close to my heart
to remind me
of the innocence
in a child's voice
