Heart Of A Child

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)



With the grip of a tiny hand
Fingers that clutch the heart
Stronger than any bound could hold
The heart of a child takes hold

With connections made secure
Labyrinths of paths many
Certain directions are found
The heart of a child goes forth

With echoes of love and laughter
Ringing through ears open wide
Thoughts of wonder reach out
The heart of a child speaks out

With all that is offered
Condensed in one small form
The heart of a child touches all
