The Little Things In Life

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2006 with permission of the Author.

One day I came into your life,
as an empty little page
on which your every word or action
will forever be engraved.

So keep in mind when you're upset,
the authority that you hold;
Your every word and every action
My tender little heart will mold.

As I grow, I will make mistakes,
And at times I'll frustrate you.
Remember, It'll take years to see
The hurt harshly spoken words will do.

Always diligently take the time to consider,
Whatever actions you choose to take.
I know sometimes I will need correction.
Be mindful my character does not break.

When I have grown, I will bring you joy
and fill your heart with delight.
For you will see the time you've taken
has encouraged me to do what's right.

I will bring respect to your name,
never sorrow or disgrace.
Then just like you, I will, too
make this world a better place.
