When a Child Dies


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

You may not know
me little one,
but I know you

you're a star
so bright,
you're a shining
in the night

you're golden
and pride
with silver lace.

I know your place,
you're a child
of many dreams

you’re now our Prince
at peace.

Yes it is such a sad experience and such a fruitless waste of life. I lost 2 friends when I was a child. It was horrible.
