Don'T Hurt This Child Poem by Aldo Kraas

Don't hurt this child
This child is a gift to the world
Don't hurt this child any more
I beg you to promise that child that you won't hurt her
She has that beautiful smile that every time I see it breaks my hearth to pieces
Give her the life she deserves
Teach her to love and not to hate
I can hear her breathe strong
I can see all the excitement she is feeling
She needs clothes, food, and shelter
It is your job to provide it to her
Award her for her good behavior when she is good
Teach her to respect the other kids
This child is the light of the world
The sunshine of everyone's life here on earth
Give her guidance in her life
And lead her to her life's journey through the beginning and the end
