Losing innocence If only you could look over your shoulder If only you could see what will be If only you knew what you were about to lose If only you weren’t looking up at me For something’s about to be stolen For something will be chased away For that something you will always be looking For always forever and a day Innocence through a child’s eyes is beautiful Innocence is a beauty to behold Innocence is the difference between child and man Innocence disappears and you’re left feeling cold Treasure this gift while you still have it Treasure it so you remember when it has gone Treasure your childhood and its innocence Treasure it for yourself and then pass it on NOTE: I think this is pretty self explanatory. I do feel in these modern times quicker than ever children are thrown into the cauldron of life. What with exams and peer pressure & parent pressure to succeed all too quickly the innocence of a child is lost forever. That saddens me so much.
