An ode to little children

Children need looking after, so do old people and those in difficulty. It is often stated that you can tell how healthy a society or country is by how well looked after these people are. anyone who has the calling to look after children, old people and those in need often will say how rewarding this can be. Looking after children, teaching them how to behave and get on with others,




My poem for the day is dedicated to children and the rewards from looking after them.

What really could be nicer
Than a little boy of three
Who holds his hand out to you
Saying, 'Come and play with me.'?

What really could be nicer

Than a little boy of four
Whose little hands are knocking
And tapping on your door?

He says, 'we've made some biscuits,
Mummy sister and me
We'd like you to come round to us
And have some with your tea.

What really could be nicer
Than a little girl of one
Who every time she smiles at you
It's like looking at the sun?

What really could be nicer
Than a little girl of six
Who proudly demonstrates for you
All her latest tricks?

So here's to little children
Here and everywhere
That you'll always feel safe and warm
And find someone to care.
