A Soft Smile for a Child
In a world so fast, confusion our children feel,
Often lost, a misfit, their struggles so real.
How can we show them we know and we care?
Lift your head high with a soft smile, do you dare?
Such innocence and purity they possess,
Listen attentively with a soft smile, their body you caress.
Being critical or judgmental is an easy task,
Be supportive with a soft smile, it's sure to last.
Often they simply want affirmation and understanding,
Affirm their thoughts with a soft smile,
For all of God's children are truly outstanding!
