Untold Prophets

By sweetambrosia

Have you ever noticed
how a child can love

unconditionally

they can see a person,
a total stranger,

crying

and it matters not
who that person is
man or woman
color of skin
belief in religion
status of life
it only matters
that they are

crying

and all it ever
seems to take
is a hug and a

smile

to make life right
when it comes from a

child.

    I love you for making this :) This is just about all I hope for people to ever see. From that everything els can come. Thus the headline aswell. And again people like you that see this, are to me the same in everything as the child in mention.

    And when the child returned to his parents, they as,ed what he'd said to the old man. He said 'nothing. I was just helping him cry.' Beautiful stuff. Fox
