#ForEveryChild
Illustration of a dandelion with a blue book at the stem, text "Tiny Stories" and UNICEF logo.
A poem for hope,
for love,
for a good life for every child.

Sun on a face, /
A shadow falls,/
The world of a child turns dark./
Where is mother, where is father? //
People, where did your love disappear?/
asks an old man on the ruins,/
tired in front of the shards of life.//
Come, we will go, the old man’s hand reaches out.

Made on
