A Poem about Children

Children are amazing creatures,
How we should be more like them, for
In their innocence and imagination they can overtake the world.
Loving others comes easily as a young one,
Day-to-day life is full of surprises,
Reality is just the fairy tales that is out of arm’s reach.
Every child is unique in their personalities and possibilities,
No dream is impossible in the eyes of the child.

I wrote this as a fun type of poem to describe the amazing values and views of children. I think that as a future teacher, if I lose sight of how children think and how they interact with the world around them, I think I will fail my students. I do not believe that teachers that are out of touch with their students can be effective in teaching. I try to keep in distance of enough children so that I do not lose sight of life through a child’s eyes.
