Believe it or not, children know more than you think they know.
They know more than you think they know
They hear more than you intend for them to hear
They listen more than they act like they don't
They love you
More than unconditionally.
They feel more than you mean for them to
They want less than what they say they do
And sometimes, they want just a little bit more
They are so much smarter than we all give them credit for
They understand the things we haven't even explained to them
and the things we do explain
are the one's they still can't comprehend.
They see things you don't exactly hide from them
They learn from everything you show them
Whether you meant for them to or not
They do.
They are innocent like angels
Even when you think they are being evil like little devils
They make you smile when you are crying
They make you happy when they are happy
They make you proud when you wish they would
They are only there because of you
They absorb everything you nurture them with
They love you...
...Even when you least expect them to.
These are your children.
