The Beginning

A poem about the beginning of our lives.

The Beginning

In the beginning, we were small and fragile

Seeing for the first time, our minds so agile

 

We were curious and adored

Every room, every corner had to be explored

 

We were bold and brave

It was expected of us to misbehave

 

So innocent and unaware

We were easy to make happy and easy to scare

 

We did not know right from wrong

No idea what road we would take or how long

 

We had the whole world in front of us

Some of us were easy, others may have kicked and fuss

 

Our only mission was to learn and grow

Some of us wanted to grow fast and some wanted to grow slow

 

We had no clue what kind of adult we would turn out to be

We were just having fun and living carefree 

 

One thing that we were and still are

We will always be a great bright beautiful star

 

We were born to be great and make the world great

We were born to love one another, not hate

I agree dear Kimberly.
"We were born to be great and make the world great
We were born to love one another, not hate "
If we lived using the above lines. Would be a better world. Thank you for sharing the amazing and hopeful words and poetry.

So beautifully tender and full of life, of the joy of childhood, all these wondrously warm days filled with love. If we could only carry that with us always.
