Notes About The Poem

This poem is included in my Book/eBook ‘Clive’s Uni-Verse – A Cornishman’s take on life’.  Published by Olympia Publishers in Jan 2022.  Just one of a 100 of my best-loved poems included in this book,

When You Are Little Like You

When you are little like you…
Everything is exciting,
Everything is brand new.

When you are little like you…
The world stretches out before you,
Creating a glorious view.

When you are little like you…
Everything seems possible,
There is nothing you cannot do.

When you are little like you…
Enjoy all of your childhood,
Don’t be too eager to age,
Savour your life’s story as it unfolds,
Don’t rush towards the last page.
