When I was a kid, I used to cry.
I asked the mirror, who I really was.
Was I a kid, who has been spoiled?
Was I a loner, who has no friends?
Was I ungly, deserved no love?
Was I pretty, just liked others?
Then when I grew up,
I saw who I was.
I was just a child, who needed approvel.
I was just a kid, who was scared.
I was just a normal kid, who deserved love.
I was pretty, just liked others.
It was just that I didn't see.
Every kid is lovely with a pure heart.
Every child is pretty and need love.
Every heart of a child is a fragile vase,
Which can broken easily if you didn't watch out.
Every heart of a child is innocent,
They never mean to harm anyone.
Every child deserves love,
Regardless of their talents.
Every child needs approvel,
To show her she is special.
Every child has her world,
Her beautiful world,
The way she sees things.
Every child is good,
A gift from God above.
And I understand now cause I'm a mother.
Every child deserves our love,
Our  attention and care.
Even if she is spoiled,
She is still your kid.

Love,
Lizzy Vivian

Fix your spelling and grammar and then bring it back. When you care about how you are communicating as much as what you are communicating then it will be worth taking the time to help.

thank you for you pointing out my faults. I am such a careless writer and my grammer is so bad. I'm so sorry to give you the trouble to read it. I'll try to write better next time.

Love,

Well, I think you have a wonderful message in this poem. I also have to say that it would be easier to read if some of the changes suggested in the first reply were made. Overall though, a good poem, and I really liked the topic. You write it well.

The day is brighter, but the dawn is sweetest.
