Tiny Little children

Tiny little children with voices cute and unrestrained
Trying to piece together words their memories have retained
Unable to make choices that grown ups will demand
Not realizing their little minds can not yet understand
For them time means so little all happens here and now
They live within their playtime world where there’s no if or how
When given toys and presents they’re tought to say that’s mine
Then find it hard to share their toys somewhere along the line
Why they have to go to sleep they cannot comprehend
They often fight and struggle and resist right to the end
When they get a little older quite contrary they become
And often  try to assert independence from their mum
They use mealtimes as weapons when in defiant mood
And refuse point blanc to even try to eat their food
Threats and confrontation are simply not the way
Treat them with indifference until  hunger wins the day
Little children can be trying through can be lots of fun
They bring a lot of pleasure and joy to everyone

    this is a very wonderful piece...and true as well. lol. you say in this piece "When given toys and presents they’re tought to say that’s mine"....I do have to disagree with that. not all children are tought to say that....some just do....and others don't say it at all. my son is 3 and already knows his manners and how to share. he sometimes doesn't like if some strange kid comes over to him and plays with one of his toys without asking or if he himself is not playing with it, but other than that he will share and all. this is however a nice piece and shows children how they are and can be. thank you for entering and good luck.

    Great descriptions of children, the good and bad aspects of them. Yes, they may be selfish and defiant at times, but they give joy to others. Thanks for entering.
