There are so few years
from childhood to teen;
little time for living life
fully in between.
Yet, children today thru
dance, brush, and pen,
take unprotected
chances, again and again;
With art freely spun in
finest adult fashion;
insightfully deep, full of
love, lust, and passion;
Reaches hidden emotion,
evokes praise ‘n applause,
But, just yesterday they
believed in Santa Claus.
Has the world for them
lost it’s old fashion fun,
childhood abandoned for
success on the run?
Where’s the innocence,
the cheery, smiley faces,
creating happy art about
people, things, and places?
Parents, talk to your kids
from the time of infancy.
Teach them how to avoid
unwanted teen poignancy.
