Kids

Looking down photograph to see the innocent
The picture of first steps where nothing could harm them
Pure loving joy inside as they grab the totem
Remembering those days where penny was present

A sweet moment of life where we learn to protect
These little hands in yours, and the crawling passions
The enormous talent without craving rations
The mewling in your arms while back rubbing perfect

Development progress towards ultimate goal
Of letting them grow up while focusing touchings
To guide them through hardships without doing preachings

A distant memory of the camera roll
That took amazing film of the growing moments
Of these tremendous kids with limitless movements
