TEACH A LITTLE MAN by Michael Cunliffe


"TEACH A LITTLE MAN" by Michael Cunliffe 2021
Teach a little man
To hold his brother’s hand.
Teach a little man
By his sister’s side to stand.
Teach a little man
To touch with gentle hands,
To ride the waves to land
Instead of drawing lines
In the shifting sands.
Teach a little man
To take little steps,
To walk with open eyes
And offer helping hands.
Teach a little man
That his words are his own
And by their impact
He will long be known.
Teach a little man to feel,
His heart not to conceal,
And that with his tears
He may come to heal.
Teach a little man
To be still, to stand,
To find a quiet place
To feel the wind upon his face.
Teach a little man to listen,
Hear the birdsong in the trees,
To touch the flowers in spring
And seek his inner peace.
