Little Ones. Poem by J.A McManus

Little Ones.

Rating: 5.0


Little ones never wish
Your young lives away
Live for the here and now,
Remember today.

Please don’t forget to
Laugh often and loud
And seek silver linings
In every dark cloud.

And even when life falls
Apart at the seams
Choose not to give up on
Yourself or your dreams.

Don’t try to hinder love
Whatever it’s form
Everyone needs shelter
To weather life’s storm.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I can see these words would work well in a song as lyrics. The opening line is so true as young ones can't wait to grow older and yet, life goes by so quickly. To laugh, have hope and the gift of love are important too as inspirational words for a song. love Karin

you were right: I do like it. although there is a mistake in the spelling (whar's=what's) . but I did enjoy it, that's why I gave you a ten.
