Couldn`t I rest here for just a minute,
Please, my hands so cold from the storm.

Maybe I could stand,
where no one will notice,
so frightened of what life has held.

A morsel of bread,
a pound of flesh,
love from one side of the fence.

Maybe you could love me forever,
never will ask to much.

Quietly waiting,
mere thoughts of a child,
eyes accustom to dark....Crow

This brought tears to my eyes. Little children hurting and no one sees or cares just kills me. From the title to the ending this one really touched my core. Well done. Kie

This one went straight to my heart, very haunting and vivid write. It also made me mad to think that there are children out there who have no one to turn to for help. Well done.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
