Children Unique

Children,
not the same.
Identities unique,

Not a wish,
nor a dream.
A reality,
out of the womb.

Let them be,
angels of the rainbow,
precious and fragile.

After the rain,
a promise made,
sunlight shining,
through prisms of self.

A prisoner,
in your cage,
just longing to fly,

So set them free!
