These Children.... Poem by Paul Hansford

A sad but true philosophy - the first two lines create an affecting image. This is poetry liberally embellished with wisdom. S :)

I like this one, it captures the special nature of childhood.

simple and shocking, , , , , , , , , , , but lovely

So true Paul. The round-eyed children did it for me as it evoked innocence. Not always wiser too, depending on conditioning and what life dishes out. I found this thought provoking.... Karin Anderson

Its a constant worry as a parent, how our little ones will grow and learn ready to be set free into a world that may not even be here for them to become the very best they can be, but the most of all i hope they live to be healthy and happy in all they choose.

a lovely poem on children- the world only steals them of their innocense-10
