Beauty of Innocence

 

A childlike innocence but not naive 
Intelligent but insusceptible to quick belief 
Wise, yet only with simple truth 
Content in all extent 
Humble, yet also secure 
Focused and not in a blur 
Uninfluenced by societies lies 
Confidently getting by 
Heart that’s not darkened by selfish desire 
Or bound by sin, leading toward never-ending fire 
Unpolluted, a heart that’s pure 
Avoiding the sinful lure of cultures obsessions 
Holding on to what is true 
Hope in things unseen 
Moving towards completion 
A vessel, to be shaped a molded 
Unashamed and bold 
Strong and unwavering 
Standing without fault or blame, no shame 
And joy so great 
Clearly resonates the beauty of innocence, 
A heart cherished and sought after by God.
