Children always ask me during school visits how I write poetry from a child's point of view ...

The Child Within Down inside this grownup lives the child that used to be. When I look in my mirror, she stares right back at me. Now that I�m a grownup, it�s an older face I see, but the child�s still there, just hiding, way down deep inside of me. Sometimes we work together, that little girl and me. She comes up from her hiding place and we write poetry. I like being grownup and I wouldn�t wanna swap. Well... maybe a little younger face with no grey hair on top.

LOL! We all see the child within...Thank you for this. We need the reminder time to time, who we really are: we're all God's children, He is the One who made us just as we are.
Peace&Grace,

We all have that child in us, how much such a feeling surfaces depends on us and also on circumstance. Let the child's help surface, you both write wonderful poems. Victor

I'm constantly being told that I "never grew up." It's meant as an insult but I take it as a compliments. Thank you for this. Love and peace,

An adorable poem...and so true. We should never lose touch of that child within...she could be loads of fun and is a wellspring for writers to draw from. Loved the easy flow of this poem, C.J. :)
