The Children Know Things

The children know things that they cannot say,
Can't put into words, far beyond their age;
It's knowledge they have, but ought not know-
They may stay quiet, but their eyes say so.
Children live in the background light,
With inquisitive faces, to inquire what's right;
And tell them nothing, or tell them much-
They'll always intuit why the things are thus.
Their eyes are watching you night and day,
Cataloging every word you say;
And even words which you might not utter-
They'll still catch, when you start to stutter.
You can watch your face and watch your tongue,
From morning light till the day is done;
You'll never find out how they got the truth-
But just look in their eyes, to find the proof.
