Children's Tears

I've heard it said that angels fly
On the tears that children cry
And that the stars come out at night
So they can hang their heads

Which makes this thought all too clear
That the sight of children's tears
Affect the realms of heaven's sphere
More than we dare admit 

In this life it's hard to find
A purity of love so kind
That brings it's all to all in life
Than that which a child can give

Admirable rhyme, rhythm, theme.You tried to understand the tears in which is to see the world entire: this means talent, good imagery and a tender soul. I also tried to understand the childish joy (Poem of Joey) as well an imagined autistic one: Actually, they are mixed tears and smiles under the same hope: The real Ethics really begins when: No woman cries (no war), no one died because hungry and perhaps our wrinkles will sometime show but the place where have been just smiles.
