Silent Cracks
Kindness whispers gently from some silent fractured moments.
While on the way to home yesterday,
Heard two siblings teasing each other playfully-
“you’re adopted,” they chuckled
A moment of reflection struck me,
For those kids who actually bear the label in reality.
In the hope of gaining a family,
Yet feeling unloved.
Noticed so many faces concealing sorrow,
Behind the veneer of cheerful smiles.
Wondering why I could see what others couldn't.
Noticed so many children growing up,
In this beautiful vast world.
Finding love among divorced parents,
Struggling to find love between them.
Now as a grown-up, I believe,
This world craves kindness.
A firm belief, a truth I hold:
This world hungers for kindness.
