The Child

I am the child For whom most parents suffer I am the child For whom most mothers go through pain Yet I’m not given the needed attention Some abandon me on the streets Others,in deadly pits. I am the child The smallest in the society Yet I grow up to be the greatest I’m the child Who grows up to be the future president, lawyer, doctor And other desired men of the society. I am the child Who may also grow up to be the robber, murderer, And other nuisance of the society. All depending on the attention I’m given So mum, dad and brethren Let us all help create a better world for children For indeed, an adult is a child who has really survived.
