⌛ Innocence

This is a poem I posted in one of my blogs, which I'd like to share with you guys...the pics are of my granddaughter kirsten and new grandson kurt....

The innocence of childhood it is a marvellous thing
And all children are untainted in their life's early Spring
But by the time they've reached their teens their innocence they've lost
And the experience that we gain from age always comes at a cost.

When children lose their innocence they lose their gift of joy
The joy that comes from innocence in every young girl and boy
Compared to us young children see life quite differently
Of the guilt of corruption they are completely free.

I have such happy memories of when I was a boy
My childhood years were happy years but time just seemed to fly
And the experience that I've gained from life it came at a great cost
For I lost something beautiful when innocence I lost.

Nice pics Foxy and you can be proud of those innocent grandchildren.
That poem of F. Duggan is a nice one.

 

Grand children? now my image is dashed, just kidding, you were married at a very young age no doubt.. a beautiful baby, and what facial expression.

 

Jellyfish,
thank you. Yep, i am proud of my two precious ones. I hope they will grow up to be what their parents expect them to.

 

RHB:
LOL! I got married at the age of 19...is that young? And yes, my precious kirsten is quite the photographer's favourite. she just loves the camera! And the baby, well, he's just two weeks old, but getting to be quite a handsome young chap.
And ok, here is me.....i love the b/w.
