One Little Child

One Little Child                                                             by Ann J. Gold

This one little child captured my heart.
He gave me strength when he barely had any.
The child never knew what was going on or where he was going next.
Nothing mattered to him but the ability to smile.

This one little child captured my heart.
So innocent and so sweet, no one could resist.
The little man was less than two feet tall, but had a soul of a man 7 feet 
Despite his history and future quality,
This little man is meant to do something great.

This one little child captured my heart.
He fought and fought, never giving up.
The little child that stole my heart, stole everyone elses too.
Oh, I cant wait until the day I see him just walking by
Of course the fight in him will show.
I wouldn’t say a word, because I Cincerely know about his fighting growth.

"I cant wait until the day I see him just walking by Of course the fight in him will show." So perfect; it shows YOUR heart. Janine Golden June 25, 2019 at 8:13 AM Thank you for the comment. No, I am not a preschool teacher. I am retired from foster care and juvenile detention.
