Child

by H E Losey   Jun 13, 2008


How blind the child that cannot see
The love possessed by their family
To loved one's concerns they often say,
"Don't interfere, let me live my way"
The errors made of a generation past
The child will repeat like mirrored glass
The pain and heartache these errors unfold
This they'd avoid, by heeding what's told.

    "How blind the child that cannot see
    The love possessed by their family"

    I like these first two lines in this poem. Really makes the poem flow very well.

    "To loved one's concerns they often say,
    "Don't interfere, let me live my way""

    From reading the first four lines this reminds me of Shakespeare, maybe a more modern style of it Robert Frost perhaps?

    "The errors made of a generation past
    The child will repeat like mirrored glass
    The pain and heartache these errors unfold
    This they'd avoid, by heeding what's told."

    This is so true, the next generation will have to deal with what this generation did. The mistakes and the things that they did right. No matter what the next generation will have to deal with that goes on. Whether it be to fix the wrongs or make the rights even better or mess everything up. No matter what the next generation will have to deal with whatever goes on. This really opens the eyes of who ever reads this good poem.
