Innocence
Lost in a world so corrupt
No longer able to enjoy their youth
Exposed to the harshness of reality
Why, must they endure such a future?
Our children shouldn’t suffer

Their innocent look
Their heart so open to goodness
How can I teach them?
That life isn’t always that easy
My heart fills with sorrow
Just with the knowledge
Of this corrupted world

I sit here
Visualizing their eyes
As they look up at me for advise
Their eyes so pure
Filled with love for me
Needing me
Taking every breath I take

I close my eyes
To feel their tender touch
A touch that could never be replaced
I close my eyes
To see their faces as they say
“I love you Mommy”
It fills me up inside
And for that fraction of a moment
All fears go away
My pain disappears
A new light of hope
Shines upon me

Innocence
Looks up at me
To show me a brighter day

Very heartfelt and poignant poem.

You express here what worries so many parents.

Still, awakening to Love is taking place all over the world. Now that we are at such a low point, I think we can't go any further downwards. Love and peace will happen, because deep within all souls maintain their innocence.

Love,
Margherita
