Learning from my own experience, how precious children are and how much we can do for them through our example, love and teachings. They are sending us signals that require us to sometimes slowdown, stop and listen to them. They are looking for the ingredients that will help them face the world and we are the ones who can give them these. They need to know that they are very important to us and together we can make memories that will last theirs and our lifetimes. Listen to the children, for they see some things that we have forgotten were there.

The Eyes Of A Child (2003)
written by James Buckley

Now listen, my dear friends,
You know a child has right to believe in
All that is magic and pretend,
You just look in their eyes and you’ll see it
How much they need you
It’s a look that you can’t deny

The eyes of a child
Have the power to touch you
The eyes of a child
Lifting you higher than high
The eyes of a child

To be there, while they grow,
means more to them than we realize
While they discover, a world of hope,
without you they’ve nothing but empty eyes
How much they need you
It’s a look that you can’t deny

The eyes of a child
Have the power to touch you
The eyes of a child
Lifting you higher than high
The eyes of a child
Burning their love in your heart
The eyes of a child
Can make a man break down and cry for the eyes of a child

And as they look in your eyes as you leave to do what you do
Their eyes seem to be asking: "Are you coming back real soon?"
oh oh oh oh

Now won't you please understand,
that these moments they go by so very fast
As I tell you I'm just a man
and I live for the questions they're gonna ask
How much they need you It's a look that you can't deny

The eyes of a child
Have the power to touch you
The eyes of a child
Lifting you higher than high
The eyes of a child
Burning their love in your heart
The eyes of a child
Can make a man break down and cry for the eyes of a child

The eyes of a child
To touch you and hold you
and make you feel it in your heart for a lifetime
To send you and make you feel like you’re on top of the world

With a love that’s so strong and so powerful
than anything you’d ever find
There’s not enough time in your life
to let all these moments just fade away

The eyes of a child
The eyes of a child

ohhhhhhh The Eyes of a child
