Njeri Hunjeri Poet Rhyme

Through the Eyes of a Child

You are big, I want to eat so I can be
Like you, in size, height and grandeur 
Your smile makes my mornings dance
You always wake up early so that our day's journey 
Can be smooth, fresh....move

                    Lift me high
                    So I can fly
                    So I can breathe
                    With every hair

You are the best cook even in the books
You make the best food, putting everyone in a good mood
When I grow up one day, I want my hands to play
Like yours do, with a heart's truth

                    Lift me higher
                    So I can see further
                    So I can breathe deeper
                    Like a dreamer

Now that the day is gone, memories made of stone
Tonight is here, you are dressed like a bear
Assuring me that all is clear, no need to fear
Monsters wouldn't come near, for you hold the cure

                    Lift me highest
                    So I can laugh the loudest
                    With love that is brightest 
                    Like you do my greatest

Neva Romaine September 1, 2015 at 2:38 PM Hey Njeri, stopped by for a visit. This is an excellent work of art from you. Your insight into the soul of child and the ability to express it is wonderful. Beautifully written. Well done! Be Blessed, Neva Njeri Hunjeri September 17, 2015 at 2:27 PM thank you so much Neva. I appreciate the visit

Edlynn Nau August 31, 2015 at 1:03 PM NICE JOB HERE! Love that you took the child's view point. We can all see this child being lifted to a parents shoulders or symbolically being raised up to see better! CONSIDER changing this to Free Verse as it doesn't truly fit their definition of Rhyme poems here but seems to fit free verse. I hope others weigh in on this! Njeri Hunjeri September 17, 2015 at 2:25 PM thank you Edlynn. I so much appreciate your comment
