Little feet,
Little hands,
Little toes,
Little fingers,

We were once this so small
We were once so innocent
We were once so happy
We were once ourselves

What happened to our happy lives?
What happened to our favorite toys?
What happened to our old friends?
What happened to our yearning to learn?

I know what happened,
You know what happened,
They know what happened,
But, will we ever be happy again?

I believe so,
It will take time,
It will take patience,
It will take courage.

But, with the right person
In your life,
And a little bit of child in your heart
The spontaneousness and joy will return

A child's innocence
Is all one needs
To hold onto
It's the key to happiness
