“You can usually accomplish more by giving something your full effort for a few years rather than giving it a lukewarm effort for fifty years. Pick a priority for this season of your life and do it to the best of your ability.” James Clear

Lokesh, the prompt image is a child looking at the reflection of himself in what appears to be a glass door. My poem reflects upon our children that don’t have a clear vision while growing up. Empowering them with wisdom will help them get through those growing up (formidable) years. I hope this helps. 😉
I think most of my youth was a blurry mess. I moved around due to my Dad’s jobs. Stability for children is good. The good thing about moving around is that one learns to adapt (and there are many forms of adaptation). Cheers! ~Jules
i am not sure, do you have a spam folder Eugenia? I had two links inside the comment links to songs that l thought suited everything – Paint in Black and Fade to Black 🙂 Maybe it was because of those.
I left a comment about the fabulous songs you left letting you know that the links were in my notification email but not in the comment itself. Your comment had to be approved, which I did, and now it has disappeared. Anyway, thanks for sharing the two great songs!
Great take Eugenia

Kids mention age as a higher number (I’m going to be 15 or 16). The enthusiasm to grow up and access adult privileges is obvious.

Yes, and we don’t want them to lose that enthusiasm.

Yes, it’s important. Lockdown caused huge loss to the education of children. Thank you for the poem, Eugi.🙂

My youth had its ups and downs. Yes, I agree about having to adapt which seemed to change depending on the situation.
