I for one, do not believe in the past
I believe in the future
and how things shall be from then on
I am the Child,
A Child for always
My laughter makes the rainfall
My ever-widening eyes keep everything anew
fresh and beautiful,
I am the Child
And in you I reside
Acknowledge me
I am who you are
But I have always been
And you shall be no more
But I, I have been here since when
I am the Child that laughs within you
I’ve lived forever
and forever I shall be
You are but a semblance of my moods
A chariot of my ways and a river of my yearnings
I am the Child!
I am that Child that wrestles you
I am your rosy cheeks while you’re in love
And the one that cries when you’re alone
I am the Child
Celebrate or kill me
But I am your Child!

God said in his Word, that He desires that we have faith like a child. There is something special and positive about that kind of faith, and this is what this poem speaks to me of. Wonderful work. I don't know how I missed this one.
YOU are the child! The child that is within me when I write and play! You are the child! That inspires me to keep trying to write most excellently.
You are the child.. that brings to mind distant lands, and longing for home, and playful images on page abound!
Come out and play, Roger!
This is one of your most inspiring works. I can see my childhood racing up to meet me as an old woman.. the feeling of youth that I have until I try a task I am too tired to complete.
The child is in me! I long for days to run in the sun and swim in the sea!
I will make do writing about it from my warm home in the cooler days of fall and winter... oh well.
If you are feeling neglected or unappriciated, or un loved the most likely reason is that you have inored your inner child, just as you take care of small children, by loving them and playing with them take the time to take care of the kid within take the time to play give yourself a hug tell yourself I love you look inside yourself for the happiness you need, situations change, good or bad they change, things arn't working out your way just wait it will change, don't look for outside help you will always be dissapointed, just hold on to the memories of those good times to get you through the tough ones, good job, great write, thank you
I am inspired!
Fresh; gentle; good natured; heartfelt; all consuming; demanding; dramatic; tearful; loving; cudly; playful; ending with an ultimatum.
Yep. Definately a child... You pegged it.
I really was enthralled. The last couple of stanzas were almost like listening to the voice of a god... an everlasting spirit indeed.
This is an excellent write and I can feel the emotions. It is like you are fighting with a fact of yourself. This child inside is unafraid of sharing the roots of you, don't hide what comes natural. It is only the adult in us that comforms to the thoughts that certain emotions must be hide becuase we are "grown up" now. How incredibly silly. Be an adult with the heart of a child! Do not be afraid to share who you are! Oh the mistakes I have made in this regard. Excellent write, one of my favorite.
ah i'll never kill my inner child not intentionally anyways!!! very good poem and hits a good spot in people to because it concerns eveeeeryone. Spelling and grammer are perfect from what i can see and the poem fits well, interesting picture too. keep up the good work
You allude to so many sides to the child in each of us. I think the child in us can be terrifying too, because it is honest, speaks the truth, holds nothing back. But perhaps connecting with that child is the most authentic and responsible thing one can do. You gave me a lot to think about.
I have no words in my vocaulary that can describe this, You captured something That we all can relate to. I think that I still appear to be younger than I am on the outside but on the inside So much has changed for me. I can still feel the little kid I was a short time ago but the other half of me feels really old. Anyway this is a wonderful poem I wish I could give it more than a 5!
This is a good one Roger...Very well stated and you have hit on some deeply complex yet simple truths. I have learned thru the years to take care of the 'child' and the 'child' has rewarded me many times over. You hover on the edge of theoretical reincarnation but stop just short, providing food for thought and debate....very interesting!
I think many people's inner Child have been killed. No one wants to grow up, yet when it does happen, you've grown up so fast in such a short amount of time that the slaughter is inevitable. I like this one, Roger. There are many truths in here, and great messages to never lose who you once were, because, essentially, who you were is who you will be, only modified slightly.
Welcome !
