3rd in the 'Calling All Poets for the Poetry Competition of 2003' competition

A young heart, a young mind,

A young creation, that’s so, so fine,

A tender soul,

That beats with the heart,

So carefree,

This little ones hands are,

Such rosy cheeks,

Such a smile,

This young soul is so carefree without a doubt,

His heart beats with nature,

His eyes roam like a hawks,

He has much to learn,

And much to grow,

There may be some ups and downs,

But I know that this young soul,

Yes this young soul,

Is part of the brightest future.
