LOST INNOCENCE

Remember our lives as only a child

How innocent we were, and it showed in our smile

We had no thoughts what tomorrow might bring

It was the laughter of the day that made our hearts sing

Even when bad we were forgiven of much

For our innocence endured in the lives that we touched

And when we get older as time passes by

The innocence we lose though no one knows why

Desire and knowledge seem to replace what we lost

If only we were able to understand the cost

When worries start and the struggles we say

I wish to be a child if just for one more day

The children of Jesus are often called his brethren

Our innocence he exclaimed will be a key to heaven

So don't bury your innocence deeper than it is

Uncover what you lost and make your life now his

You think this may be easy. I tell you it's the hardest thing you'll do

But if you never try, he'll never see you through
