oh ye angry child, carry big heart
oh ye angry child
remember all the while
carry big heart
forget not your start
you may now wear
expensive leather boots
forget dear not
the true and humble roots
and before that
your naked start
dear little child
remember all the while
carry big heart
carry big heart
like everyone else
got your own plate
your troubles mate
don't even get a rate
for what's on others'
from the hell's gates
dear stubborn boy
who hadn't many toys
forget this not
let life not rot
always had family
give 'em no calamity
Oh ye li'l child
carry big heart
you gonna have to anyway
for bad and the good day
there's troubles up ahead
value this comfy bed
life's a long road
cherish your current abode
know what's around the bend?
nobody knows his end
learn to prepare
not to compare
oh ye angry child
carry big heart
remember all the while
forget you not the smile
forget you not the smile

Achieved its purpose, I think it did
as a note to the younger you
I can hear the echo of the original
warbling around the melody vestigial...

Cold One,
Loved it.
I think you are really smart, you just get an idea in your head(usually a constructive, meaningful one), and then you just apply great knowledge, and advice, and great words to it! Is that the way it works?
Anyway, love your writing, my man!

Matty,
welcome once again my Brother!
also welcome
your insight and kindness together.
well, i would have been glad to confirm all the positive attributes you thought of "the" how of my scribbles derar bro. I will try one day to get there...till then i copy paste this from my profilepage ;-)
"the ultimate joy
of writing
is
inking the expression
in its purity
and
for no other
purpose "
so i try to do that...
and this particular scribble...was nothing but an expression of a note to self... of stuff that happened and that i was oblivious to that that was about to happen and so forth.
I thank you ma'man for the warmth and affection you've brought always!
humbled and honored. cold one.

Your heart is big indeed, cold. Beautiful write; and I agree - it's complete.
The angry child, though.... it wakes up from time to time and causes trouble. This is a good reminder. Thank you.

"oh ye angry child"
... the addition of the word "ye" in this opening line sets up the reader with a whole other mindset with which to read the rest of the poem. Very nicely done.
