A CHILD'S HYMN\nCharles Dickens\n\nHear my prayer, O heavenly Father,\nEre I lay me down to sleep;\nBid Thy angels, pure and holy,\nRound my bed their vigil keep.\n\nMy sins are heavy, but Thy mercy\nFar outweighs them, every one;\nDown before Thy cross I cast them,\nTrusting in Thy help alone.\n\nKeep me through this night of peril\nUnderneath its boundless shade;\nTake me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,\nWhen my pilgrimage is made.\n\nNone shall measure out Thy patience\nBy the span of human thought;\nNone shall bound the tender mercies\nWhich Thy Holy Son has bought.\n\nPardon all my past transgressions,\nGive me strength for days to come;\nGuide and guard me with Thy blessing\nTill Thy angels bid me home.

"A Prison to Educate" by Roger McGough\n"If" by Rudyard Kipling- advice for children\n"First Lesson" by Philip Booth\n\nYou can probably find them on google\n\nor you can try a Romanian poet, Lucian Blaga ("Three Facets"):\n\nThe child giggles: "My wisdom and my love is my game."\nThe young man sings: "My game and my wisdom is my love."\nThe old man keeps silent: "My love and my game is my wisdom."

hey millsberry.com is an excellent website for kids.  I'm not sure if you can write to penpals but depending on the age considering you are asking about kids i would try to stay away from penpals.  Good Luck

There are several poets who wrote about natures beauty, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Lord Alfred Tennison, Ralph Waldo Emmerson and William Blake just to name a few. Emily Dickinson wrote Nature-The Gentlest Mother. The first line reads "Nature, the gentlest mother, impatient of no child, the feeblest or the waywardest, her admonition mild" A great website for such poetry would be www.firstscience.com/sites/poems.asp

Sorry could only find one about reading, but thinking about the "poems about books" should be a good read

Wow, I just got done reading that poem. He is a great poet. \n\nThis is what I think he is saying in his poem. He talks about his "thirtieth year to heaven" his birthday, and the child. Turning 30 is kinda traumatic. He woke up to a beautiful day, decided to take a walk, soaking in nature and his home, everything that is familiar to him. It reminded him of a birthday in his childhood. Beautiful... then suddenly changing to gray fog and rain. He is and never will be that child again though that child is still alive inside him, knowing that he was happy then, missing that time of his life, knowing that time is always shoving you forward always closer and closer to death. But then at the end he can remember that he is lucky to be alive, though the sadness is still tainting him.\n\nThat's just my idea.

"Children Will Listen"\n\nHow do you say to your child in the night\nNothing is all black but then nothing is all white?\nHow do you say it will all be alright\nWhen you know that it mightn't be true?\nWhat do you do?\n\nCareful the things you say,\nChildren will listen.\nCareful the things you do,\nChildren will see.\nAnd learn.\nChildren may not obey,\nBut children will listen.\nChildren will look to you\nFor which way to turn,\nTo learn what to be.\nCareful before you say,\n"Listen to me."\nChildren will listen.\n\nCareful the wish you make,\nWishes are children.\nCareful the path they take,\nWishes come true,\nNot free.\nCareful the spell you cast,\nNot just on children.\nSometimes the spell may last\nPast what you can see\nAnd turn against you...\n\nCareful the tale you tell.\nThat is the spell.\nChildren will listen...\n\nHow can you say to a child who's in flight,\nDon't slip away and I won't hold so tight?\nWhat can you say that no matter how slight won't be misunderstood?\nWhat do you leave to your child when you're dead\nOnly what ever you put in its head\nThings that your mother and father had said\nWhich were left to them too.\nCareful what you say, children will listen\nCareful you do it too, children will see and learn.\nOh!\n\nGuide them but step away,\nChildren will glisten.\nTamper with what is true\nAnd children will turn,\nIf just to be free.\nCareful before you say,\n"Listen to me."\nChildren will listen...\nChildren will listen!\nChildren, children will listen
