Little Boys

July 16, 2021

The games that little boys play
give them the strength to conquer
that naive drive
they have inside
comes out strong, i’m sure.

then as a boy gets older
he gets conditioned to his fears.
if only we can all stay little boys,
running, jumping and playing around
climbing, crawling and falling down —
only to get right back up.

maybe his determination is so strong
because he doesn’t care,
if we could only be that little boy
and not shed a single tear.

run around little boy and play your games
enjoy yourself while you can,
the life ahead may be no game
the world’s in your hands little man.

for you’ll make the changes
and you’ll set the scene
for the new little men of the world.

so remember the strength that you once had
when you were a little tyke,
and when the world falls down
you’ll forget your frown
and fight back with all your might.

I am from Miami, Florida and have written poems throughout my life. Some more prolific than others. I know this site is for young poets and writers, but i am young at heart with a little more life experiences. Since we all have been locked up in our own induced prison for awhile, i thought it was about time, since i have so much of it now, to gather all my writings and share my life with you all. Topics that i cover will be, "Mother Nature" "life" "Friendships" "Love" and "Some stories and Thoughts." I have loved art all my life, especially photography and graphic art (my profession, love designing logos and studied at the art institute of Ft. Lauderdale) and ceramics. I wrestled at light weight in high school and won a national award for one of my ceramic vases. I have gone through many rough waters in my life, which one of us hasn't,? which you will read when i post them. I fantasy roll play, play card games especially Poker, and i like board games. You are welcome to follow me on Facebook if you are so inclined to snoop through my pictures and my life. https://www.facebook.com/mitchell.abrahams.77 or for my poetry page "Me Myself & i" fb.me/mrapook I also belong the the "AllPoetry.com" website. Hope you enjoy my poems
