"To the Child With the Smile"

C.J. Ingerson
1/2/99

Verse 1
********

Many times when walking
a child will pass and smile
while other times talking
it seems to some a trial.

Verse 2
********

But when in stores shopping
I ride alone in my little cart
most the children are stopping
with a smile open their heart.

Verse 3
********

It seems easier for them to see
that it is okay to share a hello
for I am now at their level to be
sensing I'm not a dangerous fellow.

Verse 4
********

So to all the little children who smile
when rushing through a so fast life
it warms my heart and lasts a while
and reminds me of something nice.

Verse 5
********

Thus is this poem written to them all
and parents who taught them this way
for nice are the HI's and hello's they call
such happiness they bring of this day.

Verse 6
********

(((((((HHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGssssss))))))
