A Poem

Poor Kids' Things

Poor kids take care of their things.

They know they won’t be replaced.

Great care taken to put them

away in their places and

keep them cleaned and protected.

 

If the toy finds its way to

the dirt or is treated with

harshness by a jealous and

spiteful sibling, the owner

 

Will feel the mourning of the

abuse and render aid to

belongings, meaning so much

that the love of care adds to

 

The value and hatred of

someone who would hurt a friend

by burying it in earth,

waiting for resurrections

being held by richer hands.
