Another summary of how events pass
tender moments become faint echos of pasts
new populations grow
in places unneeded
birth control unheeded
or never heard of.
young fill parental shoes
one is born, so departs another.

Cruelity has it that some bare brands
belong to owners in distant lands
children here are born free
but there, tasks are deligated
hands get scraped, their like is religated
to moments not long after wild births
likenesses fill harsh realities
surrounded by statistics of authorities

birth continues
we spread to billions
parental shoes wear down
one enters the scene, another departs
tender moments become reflections of destiny
or another summary of how events really pass.

Thank you for reminding me how precious these children all are, and how lucky we are.
There is so much in the world that I cannot understand. Great write. ThisDiamond

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless all the children of the world, sweet friend, my heart too is with them all that they can all follow their dreams and learn from loving parents the true joys of life! (sigh) This is so very tender, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
