Give Me a Child's Day Let me just be a child again Free of life's struggles and pain Allow me to play games Amongst grasses and plains Tell me great stories at night Before you sneak away and turn off the light Scream at me for messing the dinner table Let me smile at you face full of bubble Allow me to cry for no reason Just to get your attention If I tell you I hate school Do not think I am a fool All I want is to be with you alone To hug you, pester you and when that is done I want to wipe away your tears For I feel when you have worries Give me a child's day I'll show you a simple way To be happy, to be cheerful I may be little in life's battle But I can raise a smile Just be with me for a while Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) [This message has been edited by Daniel J D (edited 09-18-2001).] |

I love this poem. I think that everyone wishes at some point in their life, that they could be a child again. Great Write. ~Laura~ |

Here you are my friend. We need to do this, it helps keep us sane. Great poem. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Wise advice. Aren't we all still children at heart? I know I am. *grins* |

Through the eyes of a child you will see...the world as it should be. The inner child in all of us is not very deeply hidden...Come lets ride the carousel ! Enjoyed ~Time has cast a spell on you |

JD~ 'Tell me great stories at night' Stirred lots of memories here ... My children, grown now, still tell me how much they enjoyed the nightly story readings. Enjoyed~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
