A Child Taught Me Comments

innocent smile of a child can redeem a man so much...great write ajith..10+

Very nice poem, yes, we have ample scope even from the children. Smile and many other things.10+++

:) ... n then we think that we should teach the kids.. :) lessons of life r learnt by them only... a good naration..

Absolutely stunning! ! ! I enjoyed it until the end

You are a fine story teller, Ajith - I'm sure all who read this will be moved - and you have the makings of a fine poet too. I don't think you need the explanatory note at the beginning of the piece. Readers like to work things out for themselves and your storyline is very clear. Also in line 9 I think you may have confused the word 'whole' meaning entire or complete with 'hole'. There are some lovely images in the piece too. 'Shiny eyes of innocence', 'A heart as pure as honey' and 'a dry smile rushed through my face'. I look forward to reading more of your work. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A lovely scene and sentiment. My favorite part, 'perhaps... to shield my memories from evaporating into the blue sky..' I would have liked to have seen the precious moment a little more clearly, though. Nice work. Thank you.

Hi Ajith.. gud work...It contains a great message..so keep on smiling....Wish u a happy Newyear-2009

Very elegant poem with a strong philosophy painting with nice phrases. Being happy is a challenge to practice. But you have promised her to be consistant 'till your blood becomes blue'. wonderful piece of work. Don't seem to be young in thoughts yet you are 17. Keep it up.10 is my gift.

this is great! i loved it. very inspirational too.

this is a enjoyable read... very good. children are the ones that teach the adults a lot of the time... we just like to think it is the other way around. great job. Becca

You have the pen of a poet, my friend. Life often may beat one down to the point that they forget how to be happy, as with this beggar. There is no stronger cure for such an affliction as the innocent, tender touch of a loving child. Well done. A 10 as I see it. Thanks and best wishes for a happy new year. Richard

A very touching write...children are nothing but god! They have this supernatural healing powers in their radiant innocent smile and blabbering words...through which they conquer hearts and inspire lives, they breathe fresh air into the dying spirit. thanks for sharing!
