Dedicated to all those who who suffer depression or sadness or loss, especially children, but this is for someone special, they know who they are and I wish them well!!!!!!!!!

Why do the young Still bleed without hurt? Have we stolen infants dreams? Childhoods should not contain screams Suicide is a deadly game If only love could wipe away the shame Raindrops on flowers Meadows bloom, nothing is sour Child let me take you in my arms So young you deserve only love and no harm I will burn all your sadness away If only for a smile, you cry out I want to stay Your heart seeps into the hearts of many Your love shines, depression your enemy I am far, we have never met For that I would hug you, and say The world needs you, don't go just yet The winds brings a hug that begs you to stay

Arthur, your poem gave me some tears, but this is a message that needs to be heard. Sometimes people wonder how they missed the warning signs when a young person takes their life. A big hug goes out to you...

How lovely to show this person they are needed when depression's power is to strip that belief away.
