Everyone please comment on my poems Ive submitted please....Id like to know what everyone thinks





I once saw a child with big blue eyes,
I once saw a child with black and blue eyes
I once saw a child playing with barbie dolls,
I once saw a child staring at the walls
I once saw a child who liked to read books page by page,
I once saw a child much too old for her age
I once saw a child much too old for her age, I once saw a child who's face would confirm your worst fears
I once saw a child who just wanted to play all day long,
I once saw a child who heard sirens all day long
I once saw a child with many hopes, dreams, and goals,
I once saw a child whos dreams were shattered long ago
I once saw a child that everybody knows,
I now see a child everybody thinks they know

I really like this...a lot of people think they know a child and the child grows up with ideas of hurt pain and anger....
people who deal with children should be given the first thought in giving first aid....

I thought it was very well written our children are the future but so many suffer every day and endure pain for many different reasons. I hope that child was not you.flowerforyou
