Rating: 3.7

Wants the training hand of care.

Indeed, the days of childhood can never be compared with those of adolescence or young and old aged......Life is playful in the hands of kids....

Beautifully captures the spirit of childhood - learning and adapting. Need to encourage children and be gentle with teaching them. Thank you

Witnessing a scene in which a child's benign free spirit is clipped, it breaks my heart. I agree with the sentiment of this poem, give a child safe parameters within which to be free and creative. The form of the poem is okay.... Thank you.

He who checks a child with terror, Stops its play, and stills its song, Not alone commits an error, But a great and moral wrong. all true and tender! ! !

This is truly a superb poem - it touched my heart and I enjoyed it immensly. The beauty of a child's innocence is so magnificent. It's no wonder God urges us to live in that degree of innocence.
