Notes About The Poem

- Innocent Children -

Small feet ~ small toes
Chubby and soft
Happiness
Congratulations
The world is new
It is their future
Setting track
Future hopes


Small feet ~ small toes
The sky is still blue
Give our kids a chance
Childhood is one of
the most important time in life
A ball with rainbow colors
Not bombs and guns


Small feet ~ small toes
Long way to go
A sky full of stars
A hand to hold
Fresh strawberries in a cup
Breaking silence of death
We can not promise,
but we can do something about it


Small feet ~ small toes
Sensitive moment in silence
Enjoy every moment
Focusing on the good stuff in life
Do not give them tears for fears
Small children in war zones
Time does not heal trauma

James Inman February 19, 2016 at 9:35 PM Meaningful poem. It seems the children are always the one that suffer from the adults' mistakes.

Emile Pinet February 19, 2016 at 9:44 AM The compassion of the author has been transposed onto the page and makes for a good read.

Timothy Hicks February 17, 2016 at 10:16 PM This was really adorable, Anne. Children are the future, and at that tender age, there are many different paths they can take. Be careful of which way you lead them, and enjoy the time you have while they are still young, for it is fleeting.
