Frail Child

Ten little fingers, tiny toes,
A lofty love, not yet a woe.
I hope you'll find a shelter safe;
A guiding spirit till your grave.
May Angels touched by children's tears
Guard all the infants of this sphere.
A loving grace to lead the daybreaks,
For fragile souls like crystal snowflakes.

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I cried reading this because children are God's most beautiful creation to me and I wish for every one to have a safe home and loving mom and dad to guide him or her! (kiss on cheek) This is touching, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Munda, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Munda,

This piece is just too beautiful to go by unnoticed. Children are indeed precious and my prayers go out to every child who does not have a loving family.

Munda, What a fabulous poem, I am so glad I happened upon it this morning. Children are so precious, and for you to write such a gentle and touching poem regarding them, shows you have a heart of beauty, and compassion

Welcome back, Munda!

This is beautiful, so tender and compassionate. In my opinion, every child is born an angel and no child should ever have to suffer~

Take care,

For fragile souls like crystal snowflakes.

================

what a lovely image and metaphor....
A beautiful, cadence kissed dedication to innocence and youth.
So good to see your name here and to read your work again Munda-girl.

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.
