The Innocent Happiness Of Children Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Innocent Happiness Of Children



he's a polio victim
a grade three pupil
walking so uneasy
on what seems to be
uneven floors

we were walking
together and then
he met another
child, soon to be
his classmate,
this harelipped
child not so tall
than him

they were exhanging
glances and then
shared these smiles

soon they were
playing on the
school grounds

a beautiful sight
shared laughters
not minding
what defects
are there
