"When I Was A Boy" - Eugene Field Childrens Poems

When I Was A Boy is another  nostalgic poem about childhood writeen by Eugene Field. 

In the poem, Mr. Field reminisces about his childhood dreams about the future.

"When I Was A Boy" reminds us that children need to dream and imagine the future they would have.

Boys become leaders, fathers, Presidents, businessmen, and more.

They are the progenitors of another family line in the human race.

When they are boys, their dreams are prophetic, as Mr. Field expressed:

For the grace that through the lattiice streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy,
And to bring me glimpses of times to be
When manhood's clarion seemed to call...

Eugene Field reminds us to help boys to dream about their future

It seems to me that this Eugene Field poem reminds adults to help children to paint pictures about their futures.

Humans possess the remarkable, God-given ability to bring things to pass just by speaking them.

As you read this poem to your child, I encourage you to use it as a golden opportunity to  bring great  things into your child's future  by speak about it.
