    CHILD

     YOUR CHILDHOOD YEARS
    ARE NOT GREAT IN NUMBER,
    BUT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE WISDOM
    OF ANCIENTS AND THE COMPASSION OF SAINTS,
    AND I AM IN AWE OF ALL YOU CAN DO
    AND BE, AND SEE AND UNDERSTAND.

    MY HUMBLENESS ONLY CRACKS
    TO LET MY PRIDE IN YOU SHINE.
    I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL THAT, FOR ONE SMALL MOMENT,
    PART OF YOU HAS BEEN MINE.

    This is a brilliant short tribute to this young person... It's very compelling just by it's humble appreciation for them given you know they do not yet possess the luxury of experience in this world from just time itself... Great short write....

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
