Childrens Pain

*********************Childrens Pain***************1979  

   
 
  to look upon your childs face
to hold your child in a warm embrace
to be able to soothe their aches and pains
and kiss away the falling rain.
to taste the salt from the teardrops
which never seem to want to stop.

to be able to comfort him/her when in trouble
and make it seem, like a small bubble.
to pop it within their face
and let them know it's no disgrace.
for all mankind makes mistakes.

in this world of struggle and strife
the child learns to stand and fight.
they look towards you in their hours of need.
and knows that you are a friend indeed.

give them all the love you can
for later on in life, you may need their hand

Your Child

(03/08/11)

Oh my child ! If you could only see
How you’ve become such a big part of me.
I see your future thru your eyes
And how in this life you will strive.

There will be hard roads and obstacles
That you must pass.
But ! I know they will not last.

Build your dreams and set your goals
That is the thing that you must hold.
There will always be winding roads
And at you people will throw stones.

But ! There is something that you must understand
You are the future of this land.
You can make changes, no matter how small
Your dreams don’t have to be big
They don’t have to be tall.

Like a jigsaw puzzle- little pieces
Complete the picture, for all the world to see.
You can do anything when done in unity.

Don’t ever think that there is nothing
That you can contribute.
A thought, a suggestion, a kind little word
These are the things that are felt and heard.
It takes billions of grains of sand to make a beach
With out each one- it would not be reached.

Your child is the futures lifeline
Teach them right and they’ll be fine.

In the Eyes of a Child

Listen to the voice of a child 
You will hear the wisdom of the ages 
A book ready to be written 
Filled with many unwritten pages 
Learn from their innocence 
Honestly brutal but real 
For they haven’t yet been tarnished 
telling you exactly how they feel 
So simple yet so wise they speak 
feelings never compromised 
For whatever words they speak to you 
You should not be surprised 
Listen to the voice of a child 
You can always feel their pain 
They will always bring you sunshine 
When the world is filled with rain 
Their laughter is the music 
That comes straight from the heart 
So learn to sing their praises 
Rejoice in every part 
Never let that child within 
Escape or get away 
For every child is a part of us 
Each and every day 
Listen to the voice of a child 
Hear each and every word 
For every question asked of you 
From sublime to the absurd 
There are many lessons to be taught 
And dreams to be realized 
We learn from each other every day 
Yet we always act surprised 
If we listen a little bit closer 
You will hear that inner child 
A lifetime of knowledge 
Mostly tame but occasionally wild 
In a world that’s constantly changing 
You can always find a choice 
In the wisdom of our childhood 
You will truly find your voice
