Child Quote by William Stevenson
““They cannot know What makes you as you are Nor can they hear Those voices from afar Which whisper to you You are not alone… They cannot reach That inner core of you The long before of you The child inside Deep deep inside Which gives the man his pride… What you are They can never be And what they are Will soon be history.””
