To know a child
Its laughter and love
To cling to it tightly
As if it were a dove
The feeling is joy
Peace, smiling, and hugs
But forced from it's life
Time erases as drugs
The story behind this is of a little boy who used to be in my life who I cared for and loved very much. But, life pushed me away from him, and when I came back he looked at me as a stranger. What pain is caused in a blank stare.
