I truly believe children have the answers....if only we could mimic them instead of turning them into us!


Poem Artwork

 

Child of tomorrow…
Small in stature, massive in presence,
Your soul shines brighter than the sun!
In your innocent heart, no bias, no hatred,
Only peace and harmony!
In essence, the perfect human being!
Capable of love without boundaries
You do not see colour or creed,
You are no different from your brother!
Child of tomorrow…
You are too young to change the world, and yet
In your tiny hands, you hold all the answers!
Your eyes see the world as it should be,
You are not blinded by hatred and greed!
Beautiful child, in our quest to nurture
We will teach you how to hate,
And how the only way to peace is war!
Old habits die hard!
Child of tomorrow…
I pray you do not learn from us!
For we have destroyed without conscience!
I pray there is enough left of this world
For you to have a future!
I pray you will end the reign of hatred
And learn to live in harmony with your brother!
I pray you remember how you saw the world
In your youth, and that love is the only way!
Child of tomorrow…
May you have the wisdom…
To right all that is wrong with this world!

Lovely message in this poem and I do believe after reading this that you ,yourself,have not forgotten how you saw the world as a child and that is so important isnt it Annabel...keeping that innocent child within alive and seeing the world with those eyes...there is hope for a peaceful world with folks like you in it to inspire.

It is true we have so much we could learn and use in our day to day lifes from our children. It is sad that all too often we ourselves forget the true simplicity of life that we knew when we were kids.

Great write. Unfortunately, children are our offspring and such come pretty much equiped with the full array of human frailties. But we can always hope just like you said. Liz

It's a shame that we are the guilty of the innocent child picking up their habits. Great write Annabel.

In a perfect world, our offspring's would be tolerant, hardworking contributors to humanity. Sorry, though, with today's daily influences about them hopefully they will become decent human beings. Lovely, thoughtful poem, my friend.

Annabel,

This cuts to the core of the future may hold for our young ones. It makes me think my young grandchildren and what the world will be like when the are adults. Very well written and touches the heart.

Nice poem, admirable sentiments,,,, fantastic objective.... but, never gonna happen. Too many nationalities and religions,,,, all with varying agendas and opposing opinions.

Nicely said though, Dick

Ah, you might be right, but I've seen jealousy and greed in children who wasn't even able to articulate well. It is a human condition to be imperfect, even the little children, I am positive of that.
