Children´s Day: Poem: What Children Know





Children know laughter
They know tears
Children know peace
They know chaos
Children know acceptance
They know rejection
Children know joy
They know pain
Children know abundance
They know lack
Children know health
They know illness
Children know fulfillment
They know emptiness
Children know hope
They know dismay
Children know love
They know hatred
What they don’t know is WHY!

"When I see children, I see the face of God. 
That's why I love them so much. That's what I see." 
~Michael Jackson, 2003 60 Minutes with Ed Bradley

as always, thank u for reminding us......it's school tax time here in the US. i work for the school system. i hear so many complaints. many resent their school tax. its so difficult to comprehend such an attitude. let us always put children first -in our hearts and in our politics. thank u....xoxox
