The Persuasion Of A Child Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

The Persuasion Of A Child

Rating: 5.0


Young children are architects with high hopes
Their soulful eyes and the word 'Please...'
Create persuasion; like honey from the bees.

Sweet children have the minds of a magician
They can change a maybe into a 'Yes.'
Begging until the answer is …'Well, I guess.'

Truly charming. Architect is the right word to describe children's activities. On Saturday my wife and I had a downtown tour of Nashville. Amazing all the old churches and buildings as well as the new ones. Some of them were very large and impressive with their architectural design and details. This added a lot to the meaning of this poem. Their is no limit to what children can imagine and we cannot imagine what they will later create.

The childish innocence is seductive When their eyes say please… Who can refuse their innocent pleads Which always make us please…. Lines reflecting the loving gesture towards these naughty but innocent children…. Abha
