Beautiful Boy Poem by Sheryl Deane
Beautiful Boy
Little boy, Beautiful child
The world is your embrace
All is light and fearlessness
While untamed animals dance with you
By the lake
Wild Flowers open in your gaze
Their perfume rising like butterflies
Fluttering in the warm breeze
Leading your path ahead
Little boy, beautiful child
Your heart beats strong
Wash clean the battered shores
Of adult greed and pain
Take us to a place
Of Peace
Teach us all you know
Show us how to feel
Guide us to wisdom
Bathe us in your childhood delight
Little Boy, beautiful child
Your cries wrench grown hearts
And helpless innocence breaks fierce souls
Those that hurt you are cursed
For generations of war
Will spill from your innocent wounds
And infect cities to icy retreat
Forgive us little boy,
Unfreeze the cruelty of adults
Show us the path we lost when
We focused on being grown-up
Little boy, Beautiful child
Stay with us always
The world is your embrace! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
You've painted a powerful picture of the unadulterated innocence of children. Focussed and factual. Thanks for sharing Sheryl.
A wonderful poem, Sheryl. Perhaps for adults, that communion with the inner child comes with a reset of the moral compass. This work goes on my favourites list.
A beautiful poem, Sheryl, with a lovely photo to match. How's Durbs? I'm from Cape Town. Well done on having Poem of the Day - it's given s something positive to think about. I have two fast-changing boys...
I am living in Cape Town now, as well. Been on a lot of international travels and returned home recently.
Thanks for the thumbs up! I live in Cape Town now. Children are a gift to treasure
Children are unspoilt and their innocence is a guide to adults who are trying to get back to their inner child and live in the present moment. A lovey poem and a very good poet's note that explains the great thoughts of the poem. Congrats, a good selection as members poem of the day.
