Sons And Daughters Poem by john tiong chunghoo

my poems are my children
sons and daughters
each with own characters
to travel to the far distance
to cheer up the world
places i never would
have chance to ever have fun in

treat them well if they do touch
your heart with their words

play with them, dance and
sing with them as these are his forte
words, rhythm and a sincere heart
his only means for friendship

if not, send them back to mel
send them back to me so that
i can hear from them all the
less than savoury adventures
they had in foreign shore
so that i can think about
putting more colours into
them or send them into another
land where there are more
appreciative souls
that like them
