Children are innocent
But what does that mean?
No one is completely bad
In the eyes of a child
And everyone makes mistakes
But God loves us anyways
That means we can forgive any wrong
There is no racism
Or sexism
Because we're all God's children
So it doesn't matter
What color your skin is
Or if you're a boy or a girl
Through the eyes of a child
The world is beautiful

The author's comments:
I have often been told I have childlike innocence. I guess that's true. And the "no sexism" is not entirely true because I remember silly little rhymes we'd recite when I was little poking fun at one anothers' gender.
