Like A Child

Such a positive beautiful write Violet...trust in the light to lead us wherever we are destined to go...hugs ?

We need all the positive poetry right now that we can read. Thank you for sharing your poem, it was well written and inspiring. I tried to pick out just one favorite line and could not decide. Wonderful job. 

Favorite part: 

To become like a child
Suspend our thoughtless greed
To recognize how small we are
How our lives are not in vain

I really like the line, 
 To become like a child 

When you get older, you think back to a more easy time, life was less painful, there were less people who have passed on, dreams are more vibrant when you are young. Then, one day, you turn the page and you are walking with a limp from arthritis, you look in the mirror and cringe, especially when the "youth" point out, your age. I also think the poem represents hope for the future, whether our youth, or the youth of our grand children and future of the planet. We can all contribute to the world -- all by picking up a pen, or using the keyboard to write. 

Thank you for sharing your poem. 
Be safe out there.
