Kids...

Having none, I relish the few moments in life I can spend with my friends kids...


Poem Artwork


 


No matter their age


No matter their sage,


No matter them being on the stage,


Still kids they are, they are all the rage…


 


Funny, loving, happy go lucky,


Sometimes eating things so yucky,


Brave to the point of being plucky,


Playing in the dirt, getting all mucky…


 


Wish they could stay young,


Eventually have to, unfortunately, develop a tongue,


From good upbringing most have sprung,


Climbing each of life’s ladders rung…


 


Becoming stronger with each passing day,


Their bedrooms always in a state of disarray,


Each year a change they do portray,


God, I wish they could just stay kids one more day…

Some people who don't have kids, don't like them. I admire you for appreciating other people's kids. The two boys look like Opie and Harry Potter. What movie star is the girl? Great poem.

Yep, they grow up so fast, I know everyone says that but it is really true. I never had kids either, Ed, but I have enjoyed my sister's kids and those of friends.
Take care,
Sherry

Wow, again! The Harry Potter kids live in your motor home park, and you're friends with their parents??!! And you get to hang out with them all the time?! These kids are definitely cool. Can you get their autographs for me; I'm a big fan.
