This\u00a0 quick-study poem was easy to do.<\/p>\n
My recommendation is to Just close your eyes and let your thoughts drift to your memories or your current circumstances.<\/p>\n
Is there a small child, or baby, that you love so much and that you want to write about?<\/p>\n
Think about what you want the child \u00a0to know\u00a0 – someday in the future the little child will still have your thoughts as you recorded them in your poem. Make it personal and share your love in this way.<\/p>\n
