• I am the smile on a child’s face.
    I am the way that child’s whole face lights up.
    I see the world how I want it to be.
    I see the world how it is.
    I think people should face the world
    With that smile,
    Regardless of how silly it looks.
    I am the smile on a child’s face.

    There’s something funny
    About that smile.
    Adults lack that something.
    They pretend,
    But it’s no good.
    I worry I will lose that something.
    So I better make good use
    Of what I have.
    I am the smile on a child’s face.

    I may be a child,
    But I understand.
    I understand why adults mess up
    And I don’t yell.
    I am still a child.
    I have dreams,
    Unrealistic dreams—
    Dreams adults would yell at you for wishing.
    But why listen to adults?
    They mess up.
    And I don’t yell.
    I’m still a child,
    I am the smile on a child’s face.
