Their Eyes (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 11

They tell them to stay in a child's place

But their place is here with the rest of us

When it gets bad they say "turn your face"

But having to experience the world is a must

Maybe we should try to see it all from their eyes

Think wide open thoughts

With the purest of minds

Embrace all of the things that we once fought

Give them a chance to be themselves

Make their own choices, make their own dreams

Take these old ways and put them on shelves

And let them shine their own light to gleam
