By Dag Drahmr
A tiny child begs,
!.!.!.!.beside the road of life!.
An endless black and white ribbon
!.!.!.!.runs from past to distant future!.
Long lines of cold, gray people
!.!.!.!.streams by his outstretched hands!.
With snow for a blanket,
!.!.!.!.a stone under his head
!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.he lay down to sleep!.
Dreams of warmth,
!.!.!.!.!.of comforting caresses,
!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.of arms that protect!.
His pleas for love
!.!.!.!.touch their icy hearts!.
'To much,'
!.!.!.!.the people cry!.
With tear filled eyes
!.!.!.!.they turn away,

Coop,
This poem is indeed sad
but it is written beautifully
The first two lines I am interpreting
a child begs by the road for life
I am sensing survival
As life goes by are the
next two lines!.
People are reaching out to help one
another and to comfort the unfortunate!.
Dreams of warmth
this would be a roof over the head and a
bed to sleep in!.
Yet the boy continually begs for love
which touches the other people's heart
No love to give
as a result the other people with tear filled eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
"To much,'!.!.!.!.the people cry" - It seems that the people are so overcome with the sadness of the event - that they can not even respond - and pick-up and give comfort - to the tiny child!. Though they have "tears" - they must be of the crocodile kind!. ;-) ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
