Remember my boy we are all very different
We will not all write with the same pen as you
For how deadly boring would that be?
Remember you will grow up, some days from now
And discover new ways of looking at the world
Develop your own insightful intelligence.
Remember the words you have written today
Will change in ten years, be considerably altered
Inferior you are not, just older, maturer.
Remember people will respond to your words
Bringing their own contexts, prejudices, judgements,
Thinking they know better, but know nothing at all.
Remember your words may be misconstrued
Twisted and ascribed meanings all new to you
You can never gauge the context of others.
Remember when you grow up and acquire tolerance
You will accept the criticism of others
Embrace within others, the variance of thought.
Remember my son we write mere words
Interpretations are held within each of us
Rejoice, don’t recant, the myriad of meanings achieved.

Beautiful write, with great advice. I especially love”Remember my son we write mere words
Interpretations are held within each of us” No truer words, we give words meanings and power. Lovely write
Thank you Kiana I appreciate you reading and your comment.
Now this is so true Michael. We can write poetry and have 20 different comments saying they all see different things it what you wrote. It depends on the reader. The writer himself might have meant something completely different too. Once it’s out there for the world to see, words take on the meanings of the people reading them. They are no longer ours, the writers. Which to me is great! It doesn’t mean the writer is a bad writer or a good writer, the writer has just written what they feel at the time. It’s all open for interpretation after that. Which is the way it should be.
Wonderful comment Jackie. You have summed it up perfectly. Thank you.
Beautiful, Michael. Very profound…a lovely poem to give to your children…
Thank you Oliana, I appreciate your comment.
