A Place The World Forgot

This poem marks my 1000th blog post 
For a child who passed away in a Yemeni airstrike

There is a place called Love
A place the world forgot
You'll find it in a child's eyes
More strengthful than airstrikes

There is a thing called Love
It's rocket science to a world
Which embrace war over life
It lives in the heart of a child

A place we all forgot
One to which we must return
Because though the light pales
You'll find love never fails.
