(A Life-Lesson - Poem by James Whitcomb Riley.) a poem with great overture. And I’ve enjoyed it for the reading.

i love the realities contained in this poem...beautifully written..

The stages of a woman's life but with little additions and subtractions it could be the stages of a man's life. We all go through losses and it is sad that it is so

I found this poem soothing, love it.....

The great child's poet! What a wonderful time it must have been when the neighborhood children would sit on his porch drinking lemonade and listening to his stories.... A great man and benefactor to the Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, one of the leading hospitals for children in the nation.... It is said that the neighborhood children brought up the fund for his memorial after his passing by donating coins. It is still tradition to leave coins at his memorial in Crown Hill cemetery in Indianapolis, which are used to aid the children's hospital.

There was a song that went something like this: Now there's bubble gum/ All over your hair/ Your sling shot is broken/ But you mustn't care /... For cowboys never cry! I'm trying to recall the whole song. This poem reminds me of this song.

Interesting poem, seems like she has a tough life, constantly told that her pain will pass and that the future holds better

nice &fantastic......................................

Consoling! Comforting! Nice flow of words...thumb-up!

Do some silly people really think this is a poem about heaven? It's a poem about little lies, and big. And it ends with a lie about heaven.

Life is a great lesson, the suffering starts from childhood till end of life. First the dolls and are broken by peer group and later heart is broken by persons who we love.The life is tragic as well as comic.never cry for the loss. there is hidden voice appealing us to face life boldly. Nice theme is presented with suitable objects.
