Poem Artwork

Don't ever lose the child in you
For if this happens you are through
It's with the magic which exists
If only in your mind

Don't ever lose the wonderment
It is a gift though only lent
Use it with wisdom waste it not
'Tis truly a great find

Perhaps that Peter Pan was right
I won't grow up to face the plight
Which growing up requests of us
Leaves us to childhood blind

For it's in childhood where the dream
Of what could be and all that seem
Don't get put into boxes please
You'll be labeled and signed

Your thoughts your dreams are yours alone
"They'll" turn you into cold hard stone
Believe me I have seen this done
So heartless and unkind

Be steadfast in your own belief
To be misguided causes grief
Cast a deaf ear to those who try
To make your dreams unwind

Draw fast the cloak around your face
Don't follow. Lead to your own place
If others follow let it be
And with them friendship bind

Not meant to be supined
What zest the lemon's rind

INDEED, THE CHILD IN US KEEPS US 'GIDDY' AND 'WITTY' AS WE WALK ALONG THIS ROAD OF LIFE AND...LEADS ONE TO WRITE SUCH A WONDERFUL SHARING AS THIS. LOVED THE STYLE AND RHYME SEQUENCE. THANKS JANE, ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I cannot help thinking the child in you is pretty much awake.
I know life has knocked you down many times but you always remain cheerful and optimistic.
I've very much admiration for you Jane.

That is why I take it as a compliments (even though they don't mean it as such) when many keep telling me that I never "grew up." Thank you, Jane. Love and best wishes to you,

I am a silly soul, very childlike at times :)
nothing more wonderful than to preserve
that quality, as you yourself do so often
and wonderfully...

I think we're both zesty Jane lol

Hugs

Love and Light

You have pretty much spelled out the duality of self and what self's mission in life should be. You like to play the whimsical woman at times, but you are deep, very very much so, Jane.
