Poems from Brazil 
Children's Wishes 
I saw a boy walking down
the dark street alone
And I asked myself
what a child like him could've done. 
He looked hopeless
I saw despair in his eyes
He looked afraid
I could see it is his cry 
And I wonder what a kid like him wishes
What he wishes for his life
And the only thing I can think of 
Is what we have all the time 
Somewhere he could hide from the rain
A life totally different from the one he has
Someone to protect him from the pain
Strengh to go on walking upon the broken glass 
Everyone wishes love and protection
Someone who'd be there just in case we need
Someone who'd hold air hand
And teach us what and how to be 
A light in the end of the dark street
Is what a boy wishes tonight
Someone who'd hold him tight
A light in this cold night
Cause it's a boy is wish 
To have a normal life
It's a boy is wish
To find out a light in this cold world tonight

What did I do 
How do I get home? 
Where is home?
Hey, can you help me
Cause I'm all alone 
Could you tell me what is home
I wish somebody could explain me that
Could you tell me what is mom
I don't know what's that, in fact 
Somebody left me here
I don't know what to do
I'm just a 2 year old kid
Walking behind you 
Man, could you please hold my hand 
And teach me to surirve
Could you please call me son 
And tell me what is life 
I'm just a year old kid
Walking alone down the street
I'm just a little child
Please, tell me what I did 
Tell me if home is there under the bridge
Tell me if mom is the one who left me here
tell me if surirvens trying not to be alone
tell me if life is the one I have here with me

Things of children 
There is nothing like
the look of a child
It's a look full of life
of innocence and hope 
Children are glad
They are satisfied with anything
If they don't have a toy
They invent a nice play 
They happily jump rope
There isn't bad time for children 
their world is different
It is a joy without an end 
They are like little angels
everything for them is good
from a little drawing at school
to a sweet bonbon 
But, sometimes they are sad, too
and very sentimental
They cry when seeing other children
covered with newpapers 
Everything they have, they give:
joy, love, hope...
There isn't anybody that does these things 
because these are things of children
