Children know laughter
They know tears
Children know peace
They know chaos
Children know acceptance
They know rejection
Children know joy
They know pain
Children know abundance
They know lack
Children know health

They know emptiness
Children know hope
They know dismay

They know hatred
What they don’t know is WHY!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Stephanie Jeffries 12 March 2008

I have 3 children of my own, and I agree completely with this. If everyone had the 'mind set' so to speak of children then I don't think everyone would be as cruel as they are. Children is what makes the world go round. You never know true love till you see it the way they do.
