Have you ever cried so much... <br />That your eyes run out of tears? <br />That they feel like dry deep wells <br />The walls all cracked and fissured? <br />Do your eyes hurt then? <br />When you rub them with your fists? <br />And do you, in all your agony and heartache <br />still find time to miss your tears? <br /> <br />Have you ever laughed so hard... <br />That you run out of breath? <br />That your cheeks feel like they've run a marathon <br />The face all flushed and red? <br />Do your cheek hollows hurt then? <br />When you try and laugh some more? <br />And do you, in all your joy and mirth <br />find reasons to hurt them some more? <br /> <br />Have you ever so loved a creature... <br />That you would lay your life for it? <br />That it matters much to your heart today <br />And will matter for an eternity? <br />Does your heart ache with this knowledge? <br />Does the knowledge fill your heart with dread? <br />And do you, find yourself loving it more and more <br />Despite the fact that tomorrow it might or might not be? <br /> <br />If you have cried and laughed and loved <br />And with such an intensity <br />You are the special child of God <br />You are His blessing to all humanity.<br /><br />Dia Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-child-of-god/
