As a Child

I never danced enough as a child
I just kissed the walls like
a new Best Friend
A small helpless wild
Now is at an end

Some should say play more as a child
Grass stains and football once life's dust
an eternal desire
To remain forever wild
Because no child is a liar

One should live in a box as a child
So that he may never choose to leave
and all the mothers
Can keep their little Jesus quiet and mild
Distant from his brothers

Very interesting poem. Welcome to Passions...I know you will love it here...everyone is great. As to little children.....I have raised a couple and I think we need to teach them as best we can giving as much of a balance to their lives as possible.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Welcome. Yes, children should play, and also go out to test the world for themselves, outside of the sheltering arms of mom.

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
