thanks..........

through the hustle and the bustle
and all the worries and the care
the highlight of my day
was the little boy who would share
all of four or maybe five
with a cluster of red hair
his shirtless lilly white skin
as he rode his bike with care
i waited for him to pass
as i drove into the street
a toothless smile and tiny wave
was just his way to greet
it changed my perception
on the day i just had
it made it all worthwhile
for that i am glad ..............

About this poem:

the innocence and beauty of children is so humbling when you are caught up in the big world ...............

Little things in momentary passing, like naturally true innocence, can change for a day, or a lifetime, one's perspective...and give hope for our children's future...in this disconnected world.
I love your poem! Great Work!

Thanks for sharing...

Hi, Nuwahri61,
Sometimes, all it takes is a toothless smile and tiny wave (and a poem about it) to remind us of what is truly important in life. Thank you for sharing thanks.......... for the little boy who would share.
