Across oceans, across valleys In deep forests, under skies Children are born Wonders of intimate love Cries, so filled with joy A mother's tears from pain Worthwhile as little hands Rosy feet move about, Life! Some live on fighting Some not so strong Many, fighting to live decades Many, not strong, no food to eat. Progress and aid To no avail, little stomachs Never filled A little life expires One less to feed What goes on in the minds Of governments and banks Are policies, better aimed At profits for a few While many children suffer Precious little children Or Precious little coins! A fact of life is: Never deny a child The chance you had The challenge Too daunting.Heh! Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Oh Daniel, this is excellant, absolutely a brilliant poem. Yes I love this, the choice between life and money, no contest as far as I'm concerned, life always first. Which of course is why I could never be a politician, and I'll never be rich. Well not with money, anyway, still I'd by far rather have a heart and a soul. Very well written Daniel Take care Marsha |

JD~ An interesting and thoughtful write. I believe that the world should be on a mission to see every child goes to bed at night with a full tummy. You phrased it so thoughtfully. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marsha, Thank you so much. I am so happy to see that there are many people like yourself that are concious of the wrongs of politics. May those little souls smile in Heaven as they see us fighting for their dignity. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Precious little children Or Precious little coins! A fact of life is: Never deny a child The chance you had The challenge Too daunting.Heh! Excellent read and especially the ending verse. No better way to say it than straight out. It is up to us to make sure that the dreams of our children have a chance at becoming reality as we nurture and support them with our hearts and rejoice in the "individualality" of each of them. |

Paula, Children have rights, very often the world over deny them their lives. Eyes of children in pain have to change into eyes of happiness, where love resides so they can in turn give in return. Mark, I am thrilled as usual to see your interest in my poems. I agree with you wholeheartedly, the world has to wake up from that nightmare. We have to put children first and foremost. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Daniel, This was a great piece. What a lesson you have reminded us of. Children are our future and we should all do our part to care for them for one day, they will care for us. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Marge, Thank you yet once again. The little ones are in need of our concerted efforts. If we let them down, we are letting humanity down. Lone Wolf, Point well taken, how many people out there forget the dying children. The lack of comfort many millions have is simply a failure of the developed nations. Sea, I know you care for the little ones, thank you for sharing your sentiments. You are a wonderful parent. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
