My Children's Day
I walked down the street happily,
This day was after all ours,
When I spotted a little girl crying,
Suffering hunger,
for no fault of hers.
I stood there, shocked,
As the smile soon went off my face.
My friends were rejoicing, celebrating,
And there was gloom all over this place.
I knew not how to react,
To be happy anyway, or to feel sad.
Some of us were wearing costly attires,
But some were barely clad.
My heart sinks deeper,
When those poor children I see,
Who spend their days slogging,
When they should be jumping with glee.
I wipe a tear and then decide,
These kids too, deserve some joy.
I pull out some of my clothes and toys,
And give them to those girls and boys.
When they smile, and their faces glow,
My day is made, yes, I know.
Thank you;
