“The Smile of a Child”

 

 

There are many things

That make me happy

In this world

But what makes me happiest

Is the smile of a child

 

The smile of a child

Whether boy or girl

Makes me happy

 

The smile of a child

No matter

What race, color or creed

Makes me happy

 

There are many things

That make me happy

In this world

But what makes me happiest

Is the smile of a child

Ps       The poem “The Smile of a Child,” appeared in the 2008 book, “Collected Whispers”

           With the following artist’s statement:

 

           “I believe many of the world’s problems are due to the breakdown of families and

            The sexual abuse of children.  This poem is dedicated  to my Mother and Father,

            Who always loved all children.  May we begin to build a better world.”
