    Silvia,

    The innocence of a child is the most precious thing of all. You captured this blissful state very well within your verse..

    This week a campagne was launched in my country to try and have people speak up about child abuse going on with neighbours and such..I know it goes on and it is a worldwide problem. To take the innocence and the trust away from a young life is by far the biggest and most cruel crime in my eyes.

    A really beautiful poem:)

    God bless,

    5/5 Ingrid

    This art you have crafted from your heart was so touching to mine, and made me envision myself later on as a mother or guardian of children. They are truly today's world and need to be protected, so many are abducted or taken advantage of, but you can really see God's smile upon their soul.

    Brilliant portrayal, it was a joy to read!

    God bless you and your family always.
