Mother and Child..

Precious as a child
nothing should be
more precious
than a child

nothing should be more
contagious than a smile
of a child

nothing should be
more cared of
than a child

children's innocence
so often shattered

childrens love
so often flouted

nothing should be more
of importance
than a child

nothing should be more
powerfully loved by us
than a child

childrens spontaneity
so often trampled on

childrens forgiveness
so often ignored

nothing should be more
cherished in this world
than a child

nothing should be more
hugged with affection
than a child

tell me stranger
what is more
beautiful and precious
than any dear child
