Love it —

Must be more than, 

What Emma simply says, 

When You’re losing, 

Your teeth.

——–

She says, 

Quite clearly, 

And she’s only six-years, 

But she’s wise for —

Her age.

——–

Wisdom, 

Just children have, 

Amaze adults revealing that, 

Love is more than, 

We think.

——-

Complete, 

And comfortable, 

Smiling without teeth ’cause, 

Your friends love you,

For you.

—–

No matter, 

You’re missing teeth, 

And have gapes in your mouth, 

Friends care not, love —

Anyways.

——-

Of all, 

Kids’ memories, 

The best to remember, 

Innocence made.

Without —

——–

Judgement, 

Only fighting, 

Over favourite toys,

Grudges not kept, 

Hands held. 

——

Pets like,

Favourite cats,

Laughing at penguins from, 

Favourite movies loved, 

With Friends.

——-

Second —

Homes, each other’s —

Houses; kids come and go, 

Colouring, 

Painting. 

——–

Spending, 

Childhood doing, 

All the activities kids, 

Should be doing, 

Laughing —

——–

Over, 

Funny things told, 

Not really funny but, 

Giggling stuck, 

Can’t stop.

——-

As kids, 

Laugh at every, 

Age; children’s innocence, 

Refreshing and, 

So kind.

——

Especially, 

When they teach us, 

Lessons like to love anyway, 

Family and friends, 

Anyone.

—–

Kids play, 

Not realizing, 

World’s complicated; let —

Children be free, 

Always.
