Child Like Spirit Poem by Britney Hogue

Child Like Spirit

Rating: 5.0


Why is it
That no one can see
What I can
The beauty in this world
And the miracles
In this one life

As if the majestic mountain
Wasn’t enough
Nor the fall leaf
Nor is the smell of rain
But all this
I cannot resist

We have this one life
And one spirit
This last chance
To honor what’s been given
But we pass it up
For what man has made

For once be the innocent child
Who runs and plays
With a carefree spirit
Enjoying Gods simplicities
And not mans catastrophes.
Or did we forget our true meaning

I wish
All could look to the sky
And the stars of heaven
Would remind us
Who we really are
And why we’re really here.

I love the sincerity in this poem, everyone takes the world for granted, missing out on lifes little pleasures, the soft swish of the wind, a small cotton cloud in a vast sky of blue, very very beautiful i love your poetry

This is a common call to appreciate the things of life. A wonderful thought to put on paper. The presentation of this was clear and direct. That was good. The ending was fair. A simple call to question. Not bad. All in all, a rather average but pleasant poem to read. That's not bad either. GW62
