The Leaf Men.
The Book of my childhood.
Every time I see it
or flip through its shiny, glossy pages
memories of happiness
freedom
and imagination
flashes before me in a whirlwind of my childhood.
This book made me dream like never before
This book made me look
look at the world as if I looking through a newly washed window.
This book
these Leaf Men
they taught me lessons.
Be strong.
Don't give up.
Fight for what you love.
Do things for others
and become a hero.
These imaginary
fantastic little Leaf Men
were the inspiration of my childhood
that still inspire me
and make me dream
to this very day.
The Leaf Men live on.
This is short but honest and touching response. The Leaf Men seem to have taught you numerous lessons as a younger child, and I remember many of my childhood favorite picture books being very similar to this. I agreed with and enjoyed reading about the memories the book brought up for you, and the many themes and lessons it taught you.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very good post in that is is full of so many good memories that you had. I like how you said that when you think of the book it reminds you of being free. I think it is cool that you said that because when you are a kid you don't have anything to worry about, and you have no responsibilities, and when you are older you have homework, chores and what not. Overall I like this post a lot and I really like all of the lessons that it has taught you.
