Through a Child’s Eyes

By Karen Porter

Wild winds of wonder
crashing sounds of thunder
leaves falling from trees
the buzzing sounds of bees

Picking flowers in the garden
watching water freeze and harden
raindrops and snow flakes
all the sounds animals make

Funny faces and silly sounds
that’s where laughter is found
dark and shadows are intimidating
lights and colours are stimulating

New flavours of sweets
all the different treats
everything to them is magic
there’s no such thing as tragic

Everything is big and amazing
in their mind there’s no phasing
exciting and non stop surprise
the world through a child’s eyes
