Children Of The Morning Poem by Kevin East

Little girl I watch you sway
Captured in your dream today
Sunshine chasing clouds away
And rainbows coming out to play.
Little boy I hear you laugh
Subject of a photograph
Chocolate ice-cream and coloured balloons
Dancing to such simple tunes.
Little girl you push your dolls
In their buggies through shopping malls
Guarding them from trolls and giants
Reverie defying science.
Little boy play your war games
The enemy is left in flames
Tragically, live only 3
Magically revived after tea.
Little girl listen to the breeze
Just know the moon's made out of cheese.
Little boy just fish for stars
And keep them in your old jam jars.
Children, now your world is new
-Know nothing that just can't come true
That fairies couldn't grant for you.
Life is forever as day is dawning
Never say never
Children of the morning.
