The Magic Of A Child’s Smile

The Magic Of A Child’s Smile

By R.e. Taylor

You love to see a child's smile

It is a very precious thing

Something you’ll remember

And it Only takes a few minutes

All it takes is a mommy or daddy

To tell the child a story

Play a game of peek-a-boo

Or maybe a raspberry on their tummy

But most of all it takes the love we have

A kiss or a hug or just an “I love you"

Well, that could be just the thing for a smile

But if you really cannot do that

If you cannot give the love they need

Do not harm them or take their life

It was never their fault they came to you

Let someone else raise them

Let someone else tell them a story

Or play peek-a-boo or give raspberries

Please, just give the child a chance to smile

And a chance to hear, “I love you"
