OMG Badger what an inspirational thought provoking poem. It really should be a song. One that Im really glad I read at 5 am in the morning. Im concerned about my son who has PTSD and I havent heard from him in awhile. But when you look at life issues from the innocence eyes of a child you're not judgemental nor do you take the excess baggage that worrying carries. Thank you for this writing. It helps me regroup in prayer. Worrying never fixed ANYTHING!

The inner child is stronger than the physical child. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is very good imagery.

A very intricately woven poem, kind of like the spider's web, right? I enjoyed the rhyme pattern a lot and the thoughts expressed, even more. This was one I felt I needed to read several times. It is so thought-provoking and inspirational and I'm glad you posted it. I liked it very much. MM

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written birthday poem for an older person. It encourages the person to look inside himself and find his inner child hiding deep within. Becoming aware of who we are.

So late am I hanging my head with sorrow that when my review is delivered tomorrow, that my stars have faded only to five whilst a sixth one from me should arrive! but in hopes knowing my delight is sincere, from reading last night this lovely work here, and to this poet I want him to know that, one day I shall shout him a beer! though this night I have not one here! Thanks again for this work and please don't think I'm a jerk, for I really enjoyed this writing and shall in some way again celebrate your delighting! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Review by Henry: Excellent rhyme scheme. When spoken aloud, the rhythm, balance and word flow were soothing, calming and offered serenity. It is lyrical. Thank you.

Comment from Bucketlist
This kind of subject is my addiction ( along with B.B., chocolate, and poetry) I love psychological pathways to understanding
how, why, when, where and what (LOL)
Shaped and Moulded us to be the reason for us to be examining the inner child in the first place.
I love your poetry, in other words you're saying~~~ get over it, pick yourself up, and trust God to guide us onwards ~~~correct?
Friendly hugs.

Update: The inclusion of additional thoughts here added to the impact of this poem. There is a calling from within, so soft and low, many simply miss it, others hear but ignore, afraid of what they will find.
One of the highest achievements of being human, recognized by so few, is the ability, to be honest with yourself. Considered a weakness by the arrogant strong, considered self-delusion by the conceited, considered by the intelligent, self-effacing, to be a priceless tool that enables them to advance them selves in their pursuits, but most important, to find that peace so many desire and search for, in vain.

An inspiring combination of insight, the search for truth, the search for self and methods for living a richer life. So few have the courage to look honestly into the mirror and as a result live a live without honesty, a life that is unreal, out of touch with the real world. How many will deny the existence of Someone greater than themselves? How many will delude themselves, believing that they alone control their destinies?
"But nothing lasts,
and the future is vast-
to glimpse, look in the mirror."
Great verse, how often are we surprised at the person looking back at us?
Sometimes it is a young man I used to know who does not recognize this old man.
And, it is so difficult to live for the Now, we are so busy making a living we forget to live.
Great work, one of your best!

Thanks Irish, for your great comments and inside. As a review, this really reveals to me how my work is coming across to somebody else with a different perspective. I was really trying to finish but I was rushing it then last night the less six stanzas came to me and I truly believe it was divine inspiration, because I believe those last 6 stanzas are brilliant. Thanks again for the wonderful review the shiny sixth star. It really means the world
to me~
Blessings,
Brother Badger

On last edit, in the last stanza I change the word,
" and you become imbued "
to " As you become imbued "
I think you will understand the logic in that as far as the tense applies . . .

Thanks again Irish your review made my day. I do do some more tweaking and editing last night to balance out of line that I had a part
~ie~
Which is 9 stanzad in, so I change that one from
" in my dreams" to
"in my minds dreaming"
Then nines dances later after the line breaking is a golden Dawn I wanted to put something about the Golden Dawn being a darn of reasoning add on up awakening so I put in,
" arise from your slumber",
But that also seems bulky, and almost plageristic.
Then I thought of the great we'll turning on the Beatles song revolution so I decided to state,
~a grand revolution~,
With no caps, like the other so in its significance it seems insignificant.
Let me know what you think
