Long Poems on Children’s Day in English

Explore the long poems on childhood in English below:

Ruskin Bond's What Can We Give Our Children?

What can we give our children?

Knowledge, yes, and honour too,

And strength of character

And the gift of laughter.

What gold do we give our children?

The gold of a sunny childhood,

Open spaces, a home that binds

Us to the common good…

These simple things

Are greater than the gold of kings.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko's Picture of Childhood

Elbowing our way, we run.

Someone is being beaten up in the market.

You wouldn’t want to miss it!

We pick up speed, racing to the uproar,

scooping up water in our felt boots

and forgetting to wipe our sniffles.

And stood stock-still. In our little hearts something tightened,

when we saw how the ring of sheepskin coats,

fur coats, hooded coats, was contracting,

how he stood up near the green vegetable stall

with his head pulled into his shoulders from the hail

of jabs, kicks, spitting, slaps in the face.

Paul. L. Kennedy’s Childhood Memories

I was happy when I was a lad.

It wasn't all good, but it wasn't half bad.

We played with sticks we played with stones;

we built ourselves dens that we called homes

We explored the woods, we climbed the trees

and we played with marbles on our knees.

Conkers in season we threaded with string.

If your opponent missed, your knuckles would sting.

We built trolleys with old pram wheels.

We were often too busy to go home for our meals.

We made catapults, bows and arrows and spears,

quite often resulting in painful tears.

We scrumped apples, plums and pears;

of getting caught, we had no cares

In fact, we were often caught, and our ears clipped

no smart replies - we never lipped.

During the long school summer holidays when the sun shone bright

we played outside from morning to night.

War games, tin can tommy, hide and seek,

Such fun we'd have, what havoc we'd wreak.

Raiding allotments, pinching what grew

We'd get a good hiding if our parents knew.

Round blazing open fires on logs we would sit.

In the pitch-black night our faces it lit.

We'd have singsongs and tell tales of ghosts,

of things we had done, exaggerated boasts

Now looking back, such a long time it seems

Sometimes I wonder was it all in my dreams

But then I remember all the things that I did

could only be done when I was a kid!

Zoe E. McCabe’s Summer days

The sun, it fades in the moonlight.

The stars, they fade in the daylight.

The cold breezes are strong in winter and spring,

And the warm, sunny days are what summer brings

The ice cream van's song plays a tune as the children play on the sand,

The joy on their little faces as their parents put money in their small, little hands

I remember the time when my dad put me on his shoulders as we surfed in the waves,

And all the times he would put on a song and we would have our own little rave

I remember the time when I made sand castles with my friends and the joy we all had.

I remember the summer days, and not a memory of those bright, sunny days was bad.

Terry Wheeler’s Home Away From Home

I remember when we were little kids

and would stay at grandma and grandpa's house all night.

We would get scolded when we talked in bed

until once again the room would grow quiet.

Just when we thought we were out of trouble

one of us would think of something funny to say.

We could hear footsteps coming down the hall.

That meant grandpa was on his way.

Now grandma and grandpa could be quite stern

but never could they be mean

Mostly it was a lot of love that came

from them; that is what we had seen

Finally, we would settle down for the night, and before we knew it

it was the next day.

We weren't so anxious to get up

because we had talked the night away.

Grandma would yell, you kids get up,

Get out of bed it's time for you to eat.

We could already smell the biscuits,

bacon and eggs, we knew we were in for quite a treat.

We were right because when we saw the

table set with all the goodies galore,

it only made us want to stay at grandma

and grandpa's house more and more and more.

Maya Angelou’s Life Doesn’t Frighten Me

Shadows on the wall

Noises down the hall

Life doesn't frighten me at all

Bad dogs barking loud

Big ghosts in a cloud

Life doesn't frighten me at all

Mean old Mother Goose

Lions on the loose

They don't frighten me at all

Dragons breathing flame

On my counterpane

That doesn't frighten me at all.

I go boo

Make them shoo

I make fun

Way they run

I won't cry

So they fly

I just smile

They go wild

Life doesn't frighten me at all.

Tough guys fight

All alone at night

Life doesn't frighten me at all.

Panthers in the park

Strangers in the dark

No, they don't frighten me at all.

That new classroom where

Boys all pull my hair

(Kissy little girls

With their hair in curls)

They don't frighten me at all.

Don't show me frogs and snakes

And listen for my scream,

If I'm afraid at all

It's only in my dreams.

I've got a magic charm

That I keep up my sleeve

I can walk the ocean floor

And never have to breathe.

Life doesn't frighten me at all

Not at all

Not at all.

Life doesn't frighten me at all.
