Notes About The Poem

The Language of Tears... | Pedro Luis Raota - Photography

- Children In Mourning -

Nobody can change childhood, it's impossible
                Children should feel safe in their own home, unstoppable
                Tear down fear, shame, guilt, sorrow, anger and bitterness
                Much hurts and must be combated, a hunt for happiness


                Free me from tears and pain of mind and soul
                When heart breaks and then heals, set the goal ...

Congratulations on your win! A well-written message that hits home with me. So many don't see homeless, neglected, hungry children in our towns, children living in filth with drugged parents. Foster homes needed, juvenile centers, etc. Your poem goes deep. Well done. :)

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, Your rhyme here is full of passion and emotion and is brilliantly articulated. The power of your words literally tug at the heartstrings of the reader. No children should ever have to feel threatened and unwanted. Shame on those who perpetrate such actions!! Best of Luck in the contest!! Outstanding Work and A FAVE!! Cheers and Best, Gary

This is a really inspiring poem with a deep and beautiful message, everyome deserves to be happy and enjoy life especially when they are in their childhood, once it gone, it will not return and once you are adult, you have so many different problems, so every child deserves to enjoy their childhood, but sadly that s not the case with everyone, if our childhood was awesome, we must thank God, good luck in the contest
