Smile of a Child

Smile of a child
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
So innocent; so fragile
So gullible; but who can blame them
Powerless; no sense of direction 
But filled with a seed of greatness

The smile of a child 
So comforting; so fulfilling 
Filled with strength
Fuelled with hope 

No trace of darkness 
It consumes every piece of it
It wins many hearts 
And conquers many minds

All they need is love 
All they need is warmth
A home and a sense of belonging 
Then you experience the wonder of every smile
                                                                                                1 November 2012
