A bell rings announcing the break
Its lunch and you sit back
Take a deep breath
Relax for a second
It has been an arduous morning
Demands you didn’t anticipate
Question you couldn’t answer
Grief
Sadness
Depression
All in a day’s work.
Your lunch you long for
Leftovers from the casserole last night
You find a small chocolate,
He did remember your concerns for today.
You smile and savour the flavour
Knowing his fingers
Placed it with love.
Moment to remember
Feel his warmth.
A bell rings, its yard duty time.
Across a million miles a small boy awakes
He kicks the dirt around his floor
He wonders if today
Will there be food
Peace.
Last week he saw a picture in a discarded newspaper
A chocolate bar, so delicious, it said
He wonders how?

and those that have – and those who don’t have the small luxuries in our world.. nicely done my friend
Thanks Jenny, I had this idea of the comparison…..
Very nicely done.
Thank you Anja.
Wonderful comparison, brings the point home with infinite but precise gentleness. 🙂 🙂
Thanks Helen, I was worried this may not work, but I’m happy you have seen my point.
So sad how many around the world have to wonder where they will get their next meal from – or if they will get another meal soon & if so – when?
Thanks RoSy, it is a sad world we live in. Thank you for visiting.
