For the Little Ones

Anything I would do for the little ones who need sheltering
and guidance: they are fragile and can easily bleed;  
I may die attempting to save them, but they'll stop trembling...
even saving one life, it's a deed of courage indeed!


Children must be protected from any harm...
let them play and live their adolescence
before they are suddenly cut off from innocence,
but sadly all they believed in will lose its charm!  


Listen to them carefully, they'll mumble something hard to understand,
and if they seem sad ask them, " What is bothering you, can I help? "
Their response may surprise you when their words convey depth...
they are in need of that hero who's willing to be their true friend!  


It's a myth that heroes must accomplish acts of bravery
to be praised and be remembered, but many are a beacon of hope 
for the little ones not ready to face days of adversity;
you can be one of them....encourage them until they can cope!
