Out the Mouth of Babes: A Book of Poetry

By Miles F.J Smith

We often look for much in life, but it all boils down to one thingpeace, or as we know it in the Western word, happiness. All of our adult lives we search for this happiness, which seems to elude us, only prominent in our childhood. The link to peace and childhood is assumed to be an obvious one, spurred on by lack of responsibility and free schedules. Perhaps. Or perhaps it is the simple fact that nothing is more honest than a child with a curiosity for the world around them. Out the mouth of babes often come gems.
