A very delicate matter.

Image by Pink Sherbet

Hear the children’s laughter,

it is all the same.

High pitched and infectious,

a dear for the ears.

`

Black, white, brown or yellow,

they have the same smile.

Well nourished or starving,

they have one desire.

`

Some good fortune for kids,

having a true home,

with someone to hold them.

Someone to kiss them.

`

But an ill fate for those,

having such a house,

and not a home to go.

No one to embrace.

`

Yet… still blessed beings,

seeing no evil,

hearing only good things.

Uncorrupted minds.

`

Let children, be children.

Make them see beauty.

Show them the precise way,

let love be their light!
