Somewhere

Somewhere in the world, a mother weeps; her child had been hurt and she feels helpless. Elsewhere, a mother smiles as her children run carelessly past in a playground. Somewhere in the world, a father is laughing with his friends in a smoke filled bar. Elsewhere, a father comforts the awakened child who screamed in fear from a nightmare. Somewhere in the world, children play together; running and laughing, sharing and enjoying. Elsewhere, children are bearing arms standing determined to kill the enemy. Somewhere in the world, will there ever be balance?
