Children Exude Natural Goodness

Goodness is rapidly felt
                                 In the presence of children
                           We rise to the occasion at our best
                        Subconsciously ultimate kind of test,
                        Our sadness and depression quickly melt.
                               Empathetic rising soul.
                                   Dandelion garden rings,
                         Outside play and high-spirited laughter…
                        Our sunshine self having fun feeling whole.
                             Laughter rises unbidden, suddenly.
                                     Simplicity often brings 
                                 Soothing of our broken self.
                            Play date with child is a serious work,
                              The magical spirit world you will melt
                              Molded into hero known by a child,
                                 Without cape or gemstone-crown,
                               Simply being your good self.
                         Laughter will shine happily every day,
                         Your all-time best you will rapidly see.
                       Child inside will love you, and learn to pray.
                                Spending day with your children
                                 Best soul-soothing remedy.

I don't know that I've ever read a 'serious' poem by you, but now that I have, I must say, 'girl, can do serious'. Not only laced with behavior functional type lessons, but with love and goodwill towards. A joy to read. Congrats on your win! All the best ... CayCay

Thank you CayCay. I can be serious, but seldom do it, as I play with children most of the time, and many of them are so serious, they are serious for the both of us. I try to "lighten them up" usually. Thanks for the stop-by.

I know what you mean... but it is hard (emotional painful) when you see things that you know are wrong and can't "fix".

I have to admit it is not hard at all for me as I love almost everything about it, and that's the key.
