I have been a different child, and you?


Poem Artwork


 

 

Don’t be mad about that boy

 

Who laughs always at your aspect.

 

Don’t you see that this is the way he forgets that he is 

 

 imperfect?  

 

He will try to make you cry

 

Not to play with other children.

 

But you never must respond

 

Using poison on your tongue. 

 

 

 What do you want to know?

 

Why  are you so different?

 

If the animals were similar,

 

It would be illogic to visit the Zoo.


 

 

And the stamps in your last album

 

Beauty hides in differences, too. 


 

 

But, wait..  


 

A tear trembles...in the balcony of your eyes... 

 

That’s it...Now your brilliant smile triumphs

 

on your peculiar face,

 

And sun rises over your different race.

Absolutely beautiful Maria! I have a different child, and remember the first time she came home with a title she'd never heard before. I wish I had had this to hand to her.
