GROWING UP

From your first experience in life

Your first brick is laid

And more bricks will follow

Until your foundation is made.

This is strong and very true and great imagery! I have never heard it put this way before. Its always painted in a negative light how you build a wall around your heart because you are bitter or too scared to trust or love again. This however creates a strong foundation on which to start your life! love it

"GROWING UP"
Andrew Mitchell,
A sweet little poem which gives
the feeling of our innocence
when we are wee ones and
the blank sheet just waiting for
musical notes to set our hearts to
singing.
"and more bricks will follow
until your foundation is made."
I enjoyed this because I found
myself thinking of how little
and wonderful children really
are and how we must protect
there hearts.
Blessings,
Kathy

I agree my friend. Life is lessons to make us wiser and less foolish. If we are lucky and learn. Thank you Andrew for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is just a brilliant piece, Andrew.

A simple quartet, so relevant and an excellent metaphor on life and it's journey.

Very neat!
