Put a book in this child’s hands | My Poetry

previously published on my Halcja's Place blog

Put a book in this child’s hands.

Trust me — it’ll do them good.

Give them time with their silent companion

And you’ll see — something strong will grow out of this seed.

It’ll give them big words and strong opinions.

It’ll be annoying, but you’ll get used to it and over time

They will settle down with solid ground under their feet

But with minds reaching higher than the sky.
