The mind of a child
A mind with tonnage so little yet as massive as the world
Formless and devoid of stereotypes it reaches across walls
Exempt from race, colour, gender, religion, tribe or tongue
A pinhole from which as common unit humanity is seen
Â
A mind of reality so real it thaws the hardest of heart
Replicating heaven, a true semblance of the creator
Saddled with a yearning to love with no holds barred
Diffusing artless warmth to everyone threading its path
Â
A mind charitable it weeps without bitterness or hate
Parading love standing in the gap like Jesus at the cross
The cry of innocence quick to absolve and reconcile
Spirit of goodwill that disarm the upholders of Hades
 Â
A mind that snort from depths reaching the undermost Â
First-hand and hearty, a soothing wind caressing the soul
Firmness of loyalty even as treachery scuttle to flight
And the mist of bosom fraternity drench the atmosphere
 Â
A mind dancing it glides through storm like water downhill
Unpractised steps of grace that dwarf biblical King David (2 Samuel 6:14)
Faithful to the honour of a God who relish honest praise
The vast release of joy for life so benevolently bestowed
Â
A mind chargeless as air, unrestrained and expressive to a fault
Swinging through superficial moods yet liberated from evil deed
Graceful without season; night and day, homework and play time
A faithful companion at period of plenty or scorching drought
 Â
A mind constant its timeless truth is nourished for all ages
Wisdom of a child put in words by the only begotten son
Bind not a child for to such belong the heavenly abode (Luke 18:16)
Paradise earmarked for any who like a child incline (Matthew 18:3)
