The "real world" sandbox
OK guys, here's a poem I was assigned to do for my English, and was wondering of what you guys thought. Please be harsh and critical, because I'm in a semi writer's block and don't know how to get out of it. But anyways, I'm meant to be writing as a parent guiding my child through a poem on life...
Well here goes... The “Real World” sandbox Honey, let me sit you down just one moment, And think of life as it is. Are you happy at what you’ve done and accomplished, Or feel like your life has been admonished? Oh honey, don’t worry if you’ve not gotten there I can tell you a secret for you to keep On how to succeed in what it is you want to do And count the blessings you have received, too. Consider life a sort of “Real World” sandbox Where everyone has the same amount of given sand Some can create magnificent works of art While others can take it and rip it apart You have your special place, no doubt about that Where you can create whatever it is you desire Some kids will try to be unfair and steal But continue building, because redrafting is always part of the deal You can climb high, higher than the sky As your family is the strongest foundation We care and love and respect you for you And when I say this, I really mean it, it’s true When someone comes knocking down your castle Don’t drop down sniffing wishing everyone would go away Instead, hold your head high and smile Because life’s going to get better, for them, more hostile If ever there is someone that tells you “Do this, not that.” And you feel that it is too risky Don’t hesitate to stray away from the thought Don’t be pressured into being something your not Even though life can throw many things your way Enjoy the ride while you can Everything is a new experience to enjoy and learn Even the times when it makes your stomach churn Honey, I know it’s a lot to comprehend But one day, when you are in that sandbox all alone Think of this and things will get better Because I am close to you in this short letter I care for you and want to help out Although I can’t be there every step of the way Just know if you don’t know what to do I’ll always be there, open arms, and be ready to help you. |

Bah! I knew it. The Poems section is always pretty deserted.
I love it, and I love you! :D <3 |
