'The kid in the room that no one hears' Silent screams too many unseen tears Just what is it they don't comprehend? One heart hurting will it ever end? Flinging word-stones on a sanctimonious journey they embark Finding the quiet target they surely hit their mark Silent screams too many unseen tears Will it ever end? I doubt it~ ~Sometimes inspire comes from a hurting place ... found in the tears of a friend~ *I understand ... ![]() ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

A beautiful, sensitive and compassionate poem you wrote, dear Marge. There is truly nothing that is more painful to endure than the tears of an innocent child. Love, margherita ![]() |

Thanks all .. and sometimes the 'kid in the room' is, in truth, the grown up who is reduced to tears by thoughtless words, made to feel like a child ... with no defense but to quietly cry~ Our hearts are shared with both the little one ... and the one made to feel little~ *Huglets* ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Dear Marge~Sometimes the inner child can be hurt terribly, even when we're all grown up.. especially by sticks and stones of those who should know better. I too understand. ![]() |

Hi Marge, Greatly enjoyed this, and as a wise man once said, I love children but could never eat a whole one |

from one who has truly been (for most of my 'life').... 'The kid in the room that no one hears' ...at least, that is...until Marge asked me to consider joining 'P.I.P.'!): THIS...is, most assuredly, an 'IMPORTANT' write! MUCH applause!! |

A good question, Marge. I don't know the answer; wish I did. It's a hard world for kids these days. Appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into this. ![]() |
