In His Neighborhood He’d never make an efficiency Out of a human being— Never label, categorize, or Cast disdain on “less than”— Beyond the disposable culture, He saw something that others Overlooked or explained away— Every child an individual Unique creation, to be loved From the start, no fix needed— A patient but firm belief In innate human goodness And, above all, the hidden beauty Of the needy, frightened, Uncertain souls of children— And of the lifelong child within - Meredith Alexander Kunz, © 2020
