Premium Member I Am Childlike Not Childish
I am the ultimate fabricated furious me
Hiding my weathered, worn, wonderful sides
Pulling out the slow downs, hoe downs and stops

Dropping myself cleverly into convenience paths
Of newness and wise women truths
I am readily unafraid to reveal my whole self to others

Insane? Of course, I am, in...

For Christmas, I received one of those
Easy Bake Ovens that I’d hoped for

There was a...

what do you say when there’s a gulp in your throat
the days float
i memorize the ebbs and flows
the wild turquoise blue
the sparkle that’s you

i become like a child
my voice squeaking out, “mommy…”

I didn’t know as you parent your parents
you become more childlike too…

Premium Member Childlike Wisdom - Waltz Wave
Out
of the
mouths
of babes
come words of
logic
and 
guileless
innocence.
Simplicity 
of thought that
takes us
by
surprise
causing us
to long
for 
childlike
faith.

Childlike Attendance..
My innocence
Sometimes
Turns me to stone
When in the wanted
Comfort of your crying eyes

I have longed to see your heart
Turn itself inside out
To see it all disjointed
Like a new born
A jigsaw for my trying

I wanted this
Yet in the midsts
Of broken pieces
I struggle 
To make the picture perfect
For...

Premium Member Childlike Faith
Faith of a child is great in God’s sight
Since it reveals sincere trust in its purest height
Showcasing genuine reliance to the Sovereign’s might
Devoid of doubt and unbelief along uncertainty-blight.

Child-like faith was exemplified by virtuous Bible characters
Who in their young age could be considered as heroic...

Childlike Faith With Hopes and Dreams
Children dream of Christmas Day with presents around a tree
Their birthday is a favorite day for the presents it will bring
A life with little problems full of joy to spread around
How soon it quickly fades away as adulthood breaks the ground

Life soon starts to escalate...

Childlike
I can laugh all night
Until sunrise
That might sound childish

I can act foolish
But I deserve 
To be treated right

I’m proud of myself
For preserving my 
My child innocence 

I can be naïve 
But I’d rather
Use my childlike brains

I have a grand gift
Of uplifting
The distraught spirits 

I can...

Premium Member To Be Childlike
Somewhere along the way we lose our childlikeness. We must always keep in mind that Jesus said, “[Let] the little children come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such are the kingdom of heaven.” This makes me believe that we must inculcate the...

Premium Member We Are Wearing Pajamas Today
We are wearing pajamas today.
We are super heroes, butterflies, unicorns, and mice.
We have slippers with long rat tails.
Mine are gorillas with red light-up eyes.

One or two have tails.
My zebra suit has lost his tail.
Pulled off long ago,
But do not worry. I am wearing matching underwear.

It...
