My Children at Play

My hands are on the window as
I watch my children play.
With candy canes in their hands
they run around in circles.
I ask myself what makes them happy.
What makes their hearts so full of sunshine?
Their youth is so innocent and free.
As I watch them play
my eyes are filled with tears of joy.
When I look into their eyes I see my youth.
Their youth is like a flower blooming in the spring.
They have beautiful souls that are so free.
My heart soars with happiness.
