James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Once They Grow Up

This country i have grown up in
Has made me so proud
My children in prosper
As i rise above the clouds

But there comes a day
When they will all leave home
What ever direction they take
In safety roam

In my thoughts 
They will always be
On this world of today
Let them all run free

Children of mine
All my neighbours and friends
Be safe in your journey's
My thoughts to you extend

Our children of today
Are our day after tomorrow
They are our future and beyond
Let's lessen their sorrow

Let's do what we can
And do it now
For tomorrow's too late
Please don't ask me how?


" The last line should never have to be explained "

Sara Kendrick November 8, 2009 at 7:09 AM I am sure that no one but God has the answers. It is a scary world we live in if we stop and think about it. I have written two one called "The Knight" and the other "Country Squire" can you tell me what form of poetry they are? I appreciate your comments. Keep the pen flowing. Sara
