Children's Day Poems

• Poem 1:

The greatest gift we will ever know
is a child, born to love and grow.
Conception is a miracle in itself;
the start of new life and good health.

Such a treasure your precious child is,
who will thrive on every hug and kiss.
Hold them close and sing them songs;
they will only be a child for so long.

They may not always smell pure and sweet,
a dirty diaper or a dampened sheet.
But with a loving cuddle and a beautiful smile,
the joys of parenthood are all worthwhile.
“Thank you Lord for our precious child.”

• Poem 2: 

A child is blessed every day
A child is innocent
A child is beautiful gift of god
So never ever hate them for who they are or how they are

They wanna to fulfill their dreams and & overcome hopes and fears.
So never ever Hit them or shove them around
Never ever kick them blossoming dreams to ground.

They waana to remind the adults to dry their tears,
From hearts and minds, Spirits and souls,
They love each other with no strings,

So never ever trick them into living with so many pains.
never treat them like dirt and without respect,
never cheat them and abuse their innocence,
never stop them from being a hero tomorrow,
never crop out them talents for a petty win,
never hide them from the truth that you fear,

So pray that all of us hold
To one another's hands and together sing.
They are our hope.
They are our future.
They are the ones who will change our fate.
They are everything but without our help,
They are the children, have no day to celebrate
Today in this land and all around the world,
I hold in my heart the hopes and wishes,
With hugs and love

To let them know that this is ‘Children's day' - By Shweta Panda
