Child, Child Poem by Sara Teasdale

Child, Child

Rating: 3.7


Child, child, love while you can
The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man,
Never fear though it break your heart -
Out of the wound new joy will start;
Only love proudly and gladly and well
Though love be heaven or love be hell.

Child, child, love while you may,
For life is short as a happy day;
Never fear the thing you feel -
Only by love is life made real;
Love, for the deadly sins are seven,
Only through love will you enter heaven.

I very much agree with Sara here, philosophically. Love is the path to heaven.

Love is really everything, love is life, love is heaven. No love no life, very fine.
