Remember

Never let it become a blur.
Always remember the kid that you were 
And never stop feeling the thrill
Of somewhere inside you being a kid still.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/3/2020 4:30:00 AM I am child-like, not childish, and there is such a difference; I praise the powers of my imagination that we can remember being a real child. Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 7/13/2020 11:03:00 PM I agree totally, Caren.. .and thanks for reading "Remember". Carole :D

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/2/2019 10:52:00 AM Great advice Carole. Hugs Rick. Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 11/2/2019 12:26:00 PM Thanks, Richard. I think most poets/artists are fortunate in that we retain that little piece of childhood within us somewhere...regardless of the pressure to "grow up". Carole Duet :D

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/12/2019 7:23:00 PM Just saw your comment to me down here finally. I disagree that all artists have a kid inside them. Some can be pretty serious!!! haha Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 6/27/2019 11:08:00 AM That's true, Andrea, but I think the best artists always retain some part of their youth and look at the world in a special way even if it's sad or mad! lol Thanks for reading and commenting. Carole :D

Paul Callus Date: 5/29/2019 12:27:00 PM Short but lovely and expressive, Carole. It's important to keep our feet on the ground, and remembering where we set off from. The inner child will always be there, waiting for a chance to be given some free rein:) ~ Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/31/2019 5:26:00 PM Thanks, Paul, for reading and for your nice comment on "Remember". Carole :D

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 5/24/2019 4:10:00 PM I so agree with this Carole. My grandchildren love to play with me and it has made us very close. They will keep you young if you're open to it. Lovely! xxoo : ) Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/24/2019 4:59:00 PM Yes, so true, Connie. I love children and they surely do "keep us young"...at least at heart. Thanks for your nice comment. Carole :D

Joanna Daniel Date: 5/24/2019 9:41:00 AM Great piece of advice, Carole:) Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/24/2019 3:24:00 PM Yep, Jo. That kid in us is what makes us poets, artists, nuts etc etc etc....lol Thanks for your "great" comment. Carole :D

P.S. Awtry Date: 5/20/2019 10:18:00 PM This is a gem and a FAV :) Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/21/2019 8:26:00 PM Thank you so much, P.S., including the FAV. Carole :D

CayCay Jennings Date: 5/13/2019 9:10:00 AM I couldn't agree more! Everyone's child is still very much within them, said me, based on my own inner-child! A great gem of wisdom. The best days are those when our 'child' is allowed to play - those are memory making days. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/14/2019 8:28:00 PM Yes, that "inner child" is probably the most honest part of us all. Thanks for your very sweet comment, CayCay. Carole :D

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/9/2019 6:04:00 PM Love this. I ALWAYS remember that kid inside. I still act like one half the time. Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/11/2019 7:02:00 PM Lol....me too, Andrea, but they say that all artists do that. Carole :D

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/9/2019 12:26:00 AM Carole, the true gift of an artist is pulling out the greatest parts of the child within. You have shown the way here.... Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/9/2019 1:49:00 AM That is so true, Caren. There is a child within us all and to me that is usually the best part of a person. Imagine if in heaven we all became innocent children again without the scars of life. Anyway, thank you so much for your comment on "Remember". Did you read "Through the Eyes of a Child" which "Remember" was taken from? Carole :D

Paul Callus Date: 5/5/2019 11:08:00 AM The child within is usually there to stay, Carole...maybe wiser, but forever young at heart. ~ Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 5/5/2019 7:06:00 PM So true, Paul, especially in artists and writers. Thanks for your lovely comment. Carole :D

Charles Messina Date: 4/29/2019 5:55:00 AM Once a kid always a kid. Although you are a kid at heart you are also a women of heart. Lovely write Carol. Hoping you are doing well. Love Charlie Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 4/29/2019 6:47:00 PM Hi Charles! Thank you for commenting on "Remember". Yes, I'm "a kid (and a woman) at heart". I bet you are too (except for the woman part...lol). Carole :D

Kim Rodrigues Date: 4/28/2019 6:03:00 PM I think that kid is always inside us. We grow around the kid, put things in perspective if we are wise. Yes, most should embrace but some had a terrible childhood but perhaps can gleam some good memories. Login to Reply Carole Duet Date: 4/29/2019 6:49:00 PM Hi Kim! The heart of a child is so precious and yes, no matter what happens that heart is always there. Thank you. Carole :D
