At the age of innocence !!

Wearing a shirt bitten by mice,

And all the innocence in his eyes

He stood in front stretching hands,

Awaiting the coin that lands

I pity the deepened sore on his feet,

And the day ends he is trying to meet

I want to kiss him on the cheeks,

and assure him of everything he seeks,

because it's not just money he needs,

but a heart to care him and lead

I want to see his hearty smile,

though it's just for a while

only to assure  myself that,

his innocent eyes never weep,

before they fall asleep
