Every Child's Unspoken Plea

by J.D. Edwards

My soul it brims and overflows
With wonder, joy, and pain, and fear.
Keep full my soul with all that's good.
Train me to hold my virtue dear.

My sense it sifts and wrestles with
How it might think, and trust, and know.
Show me what lasts and what is true,
The fruit of wisdom seeds to sow.

My sight it bounces craving for
New colors, shapes, and forms, and lines.
Please! Guide my sight to search, then rest
In love when it true beauty finds.
