The children are the first to know
What they haven’t learnt in a lifetime.
What it is that is.
They already know as most important.
What we haven’t learnt in a lifetime,
They summed it up with their smiles.
What we have forgotten,
The children know most often.
And the children will show it to you
Even if you’ve forgotten.
Just this once
Let the children play,
Let the children scream
As loud as they desire!
Because their screams are of delight!
If you do not want to look bad
Just leave them be,
And smile.
The boy takes his fathers face
And tries his best to make a shape.
That moment,
Hanging on the hope
For his loving gaze.
But the human face,
It is nothing like Play-Doh.
And the child trips!
On what he doesn’t know.
So children,
This is why!
You must learn with all your might!
But as you do so,
Please don’t ever forget!
What is most important!
This was done recently, it's not meant to be read like a regular poem, you have to imagine that each stanza is in a single page of a kids story book which I intend to turn this into.
