The wide eyed innocent child

It takes two people
who are willing and able
the combination of egg and sperm
to form a child strong and firm.

An innocent wide eyed child
welcomed to the world
a world she thinks is filled with laughter
for her to realize theres no happily ever after.

Not when she sees her mother cry
and ask God why?
When she sees her siblings fight
over their sad plight.

Not when faces frown
and it seems sadness in their heart is sown when laughter ceases
and sadness seizes.

All these i see
in the eyes of the wide eyed innocent child.
