to hold your child in a warm embrace
to be able to soothe their aches and pains
and kiss away the falling rain.

I can truly relate to this poem on a personal note. My parents were very loving and caring individuals. That love was reciprocated in their golden years. Very touching and beautiful.
This one is definitely among the most touching and lovely poems I have read. How many parents forget to truly enjoy the 'small' things listed in the poem while our children are young? Are we too afraid to pamper them to give them all this? It is our duty to make them caring human beings and being cared for very well as a child is a stong basis for that. If we manage to instill this caring spirit, they will most likely become adults with lots of peace of mind and as you so brightly state at the end, they will care for us in our old age as well.
beautiful poem, with a beautiful finish. 'give them all the love you can for later on in life, you may need their hand.' voted10 surya
Beautiful and so true, I could see many situations in my mind that hit this situation perfectly. A great rhyme to go with it.

What a lovely compassionate write. I am sure God counts the tears of children just as He counts every sparrow that falls.10, for being such a concerned soul. Warm regards, Sandra
Once Kahlil Gibran had said in his famous book of 'The Prophet'...'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth'.So at the end they take care of us or not is in our own hands.
Beautiful! Warm and understanding, full of positve words. Your poem introduces insight into feelings. Children do feel pain and we need to take the time to recognize that. What may seem small to us, is the whole world to them. Children have it tough growing up and this poem helps us to help them. DC
A well written true appreciation of childhood with a reminder to us in the last line that love has long term rewards. There is a beautiful classic song in French called 'Prendre un enfant par la main'- ('Take a child by the hand'.) .
where did you find them? you got a good heart
A poem that all parents should read! Such a pleasant and powerful perspective! Well done my friend!
