SMILE OF A CHILD
“Its just extending your arm in love it takes for the smile of a child to blossom “
Joseph Felix Osaeghemede
SMILE OF A CHILD
Children all are destiny’s gift
Precious as they come
Joy offers to escort them
Bundles of blessings,
Packaged for happiness
The greatest gift to man
Comes in this innocent form
Creation circle never denies it a role
Angels admire their frail strength
At their service, a host responds
For a ticket to heaven
Their nature is the fee
Their innocence so brightest like the Sun
With water’s color their hearts is paint
Friendship holding loves hand along
Such make their persona
Hate grudge and wickedness, abhors them
Give hope to a child
Love one and save many
Ignoring any, great destinies cremate extinct
The smile of a child is the face of Jehovah
A picture of hope in an uncertain tomorrow
An essence Hitler failed to borrow.
A token of kindness, triggers their smile
A face smile, screen of their inward
The smile, speaks their language of appreciation
In it lies a fountain of unspeakable joy
Beloved one,
Heavens rain will soak your desires
Spite one,
Can you stand the fury of angels?
Help one,
The world you have healed
Abort any,
The globe you wound
Save them,
A future destiny is harnessed.
Their smile, like tears
Power it conjures
Their pain, is greater than war
But their smile, silences war machines
This smile is universal
One in color
Speaking same language
Appreciates kindness in all toga
Loves without barriers
A smile breaking race divides
That is the power of a child’s smile.
Make a child smile,
You have lighted the world with good.

Chumfin, welcome back again.
Chumfin, welcome back again. You have a lot of good stuff to say, but it's not poetic, imo.
If only you could show and not tell. Let your heart speak, not your mind and then write
your feelings not your thoughts. Especially on the subject of children.... earth's most
precious gifts.
