A Child Teachs Them
Delicate and innocent
Cheeks flush with pure happy
Exuberant two year old hugged everyone in the room
Including the craggy old man who had not been hugged for a long time
He was so gob smacked he began to cry and could not stop
Remembering how his mother used to love him
And his wife who had died from cancer forty-years before
The room was silent as the old man opened up
And became human
Inspired by a delicate young two-year old
Who thought it was her right to hug
Everyone, teaching us all a valuable lesson
