A Child

"A Child"

Does just seeing a child
Ever make you cry?
Does it ever make you wonder
About the sky;
Does it ever make you hope
That they can start off well;
Does their face make you remember
Happier days;
Does their smile ever make you want to
Fall to pieces alone;
Does their laughter make you want to
Roll down grassy green hills;
Does their gaiety ever leave you
Smiling, without seeing why;
Does just seeing children
Ever make you cry?
