Such a lovely poem. It was a little gem about a little gem!!

It is also a little reminder to us all how short life is, specifically, how short childhood is. Being a child should be the best time of anyones life. It should be full of smiles, laughter and most of all unconditional love. If a child is lucky enough to receive this from parents or guardians who are aware that they are shaping a future adult, then that child has the best gift they will ever have.

My son is 7 now and I sincerley hope he grows up believing that his childhood was a happy one.
