 ~*~ ~*~ There is a child within us we need not hide so deep The part of us that never grows up is so much fun to keep Whenever trials and pain of life seem to take their toll If we call upon the child within we will find it has a roll The child within is a refuge when hard are storms of life To offer a smile from memories of when we knew not strife Bringing to us laughter and joy from deep within Helping us to know that life is possible to win For so much in this life could unhappy make us stay Maybe for a part of our time we can laugh have fun and play If we will let our child self take over for a little while We may find upon our face a happy little smile ~*~ ~*~ A slightly revised repost.......just because I needed it |

My first thought to this was... I'm still very much a virgin, and I'm quite positive there's no child within!!! But then maybe that's just from the kid in me that wants to laugh  I like it, good for a smile. Always, Alyss He was a man of sorrows |

Thank you very much, Katie.  . . Alyssa, LOL that's cute. I had to stop and think what you were talking about, because a baby "within" never came to my mind. ahahahahaha I'm glad that it made you smile, sweet friend. . . Hugs to you both  Ethel |

Very nice poem Ethel - the child in me comes to the surface every time my grandkids come so I know there is one in me - it just is a bit slower than it was so many years ago |

I agree...and you have written it beautifully. Mine peaks out every once in a while... especially when I look in the mirror where my face doesn't hide all of my years. |

Ethel, This is one of my favorite since my beginnings at Passions. This is absolute beautiful, and oh, so true! Music, art, and children keep me sane and happy, in such a crazy world. May I keep this one? Sadelite |

Nancy, little Joey is so cute, and he sure does have a winning smile. . . Bill, thank you. I'm glad that it made you smile. . . Paul, and I don't think the Grandkids would even notice that you're slower. . . I appreciate all of you very much. Hugs to each of you Ethel |

 (smiles) Yay! (does happy dance) I want to spend my whole life with the spirit of the boy giggling and skipping about joyfully! (kiss on cheek) I believe that life is about living young and that is why God made us born as little children! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, always believe the little girl in you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

The child within us keeps us innocent. We need to keep in touch with our inner child. This is absolutely beautiful! |
