you held your hand out
for the candy and
waited for it to be delivered

but you are not a child

you are middle-aged,
a participant of an assimilation program
to familiarise with your society,
having spent too much quality time
in a mental institution

and I am a spectator,
mourning for
the child in you
trapped in a grown-up's body,
too shaken to do anything else

(big hugggsssss) Oh Kaile, this is so very heartbreaking, dearest friend, I only wish that while some people need attention definitely that science could also find a way to restore innocence! (wipes tears) There are no words to say, dearest friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kaile, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kaile, I remember this one in Open 25. I was touched by it there and I am now too. I really hope that it has time to get into the book. The compassion in it is felt.
