Childhood Poems

God created men

Giving him time

That mental space

As his best gift to grow

To experience

To enjoy his little moments

And to learn to give praise to him

In the special space given him here

Men, however, become recalcitrant

Treating this gift with impatience

Killing it in everything he does

His main desire to get things done

In the shortest time possible

Never even stopping to

Appreciate and thank his

Lord for this great gift

He therefore rewards their brusqueness

With cardiac vascular diseases,

Hypertension, ulcer and cancer
