Posted by Michelle Angelini on 11/29/06 at 03:55 AM It's sad enough when adults are homeless and forgotten by society or simply invisible, but when children are remnants, it's even harder. They are more voiceless than adults, especially when preyed upon by those who should be taking care of them. A very touching and emotional poem, Mark. Would love to see this as POTD, as a reminder to think about children, since Christmas is soon - not every kid has a beautiful tree and stacks of presents beneath it. Some would give anything for a warm sweater or clean set of clothes.
