Notes About The Poem

Prince Harry and Meghan have just had a baby boy. Congratulations, here is a small poem about another little prince.

Self help: Another Little Prince

I walked the isles of books today, 
Walked passed shelves full of tales,
Books with rabbits like Watership Down, 
To books about spiders and snails,

And I was drawn toward one small little book, 
About a man who crashes his plane,
And when he woke up he met a small little boy, 
In the hostile desert terrain,

And this small little boy, who inquires a lot, 
Wants to see the man draw a sheep,
Not because he cares about drawing at all, 
But because he cares about something more deep,

And as I read through, it became clear to me, 
The small child had the pilot convinced,
That it’s important to love the people you love, 
The greatest book about the littlest Prince.

Wow Maureen, we share a love. I think the story is so true, I miss being a child. Great ideas for a tattoo.... you've inspired my ink ideas.
