Children Are Today. Poem by margaret haig

Children Are Today.



Children are today, Too outspoken for their age,

Some of their attitude stinks, and they have too much rage;

When we as adults grew up years ago, learnt to behave,

We respected the older folk, and no drugs did we crave.


Some children today, through abuse, and neglect,

Are hurting inside them, what they need is hard to detect;

They need guidance, love, understanding and care,

They need to be shown that someone will be there.


Children today, are expected to grow up too quick,

Taught to much, far too early, so wrong things they'll pick;

And as they grow, let them grow slowly at their own pace,

Let them be children while they can, and give them space.

I ve been watching children and listening they are needing love but get it to late, and they're afraid to trust.
