The Laughter of Children

one, two, and three swings 
higher, higher reach the sky
blossoms worn away

Teenage dreams of love and romance my life I had just begun
When sweet peace holds my breast, Jessie three, James two, and Mason one.

David Smith Date: 3/14/2019 3:24:00 AM Inspirational poem which comes at time when we need to count the blessings children bring us instead of considering them an inconvenience or playthings to use how we will, My book Suffer the little Children examines this. Think I said I was an early childhood teacher For 30 years. Book is in LA book fair this year. Best regards David in NZ Login to Reply

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/1/2019 4:03:00 AM I have ADHD so I must ask...do you really have Jesse James in your family? I am loving this one for sure! And the possibility. Wow! And, next question. Are you from Missouri by any chance? Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/2/2019 5:13:00 AM This poem is so well done, and has my imagination going in six directions. Well done my friend!
