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
About this poem
A child's connection to the world at large.
