“8”

 

Someone who knows only trust,

Someone who looks with love,

Someone who laughs with joy,

Someone, who is only eight.

 

To see with eyes so very bright,

To look at life with an open heart,

To hear perfectly with imperfect ears,

To be a growing child of eight.

 

A way of understanding and feeling,

A way of looking at life,

A way of hearing everything good,

A way of living that is only eight.

 

I know such a person,

I’ve seen understanding in her eyes,

I’ve heard love from her lips,

I know,

Because,

She is my daughter,

Only eight!
