Voice that went unheard

They say love is felt without the need for expressing. I say love is felt when love is expressed.

Expressing love and care is important, especially to the little ones. They don’t know how to swim to the end of the water to find love in the corner somewhere, they will get drown even in the shallow end.

They can’t search for love in the depth of words, love needs to come looking for them.
Those little ones need to be understood. It is important to tell them that they matter, matter much more than anything else.

It is important to tell them that they are precious.

Those small souls are so vulnerable. They need to be protected and parents need to be their shield. Parents should understand how important it is to tell their kid once in a while that they love him, that they are with him no matter what, they have got his back.
They say it’s upto fate and it’s all about karma.

I ask what the innocent 5 year old, who had barely explored the vastness of the world, had done to get those intentional bruises on his hands that he tries to hide under his full sleeved shirt?

Yes, the 3rd grader was indeed rightly punished by karma for failing his tests and punished by getting slapped in front of the whole class.
It must have been her fault, that turned the cheerful, playful little girl absolutely silent and fearful.

What caused the tiny one, who played in the sand dune everyday, to sit and weep silently in the church ?
Why is the sparkle lost from their eyes? Where are the cheerful morning gigles and tired evening laughs?
Where do the hide and seek games hide? Who stole the mischievous pranks from these tiny heads?
Who made them weep silently on dark nights? Why do people scare them more than demons?

Dear big ones,
Answer these question and truth will flash infront of you. Little ones aren’t little anymore. Dont ignore the silent pleas in between your arrogant words.Listen. Just for once, truly listen.

Dear little soul,
We are your sinners, please forgive us.
You have a lot to explore. I know this world is cruel but you do make a difference to it. Don’t let time and age shorten your vast thoughts of endless possibilities and miracles. You are special.
