What does a child know

But of hunger

What does a couple know

But the love they have for each other

What do teenagers want

But to fit in

What do adult want,

But feel satisfied with their decisions

What do siblings know

But to annoy one another

And what do friends know

But laughter and cheer

What does time want

But to take things slow

And what does a mother want

But to see her kid grow

What does death want

But to pull people to Her embrace

What does peace want

But so settle the growing waves

What does a child know

But fun and play

And what does a self-coined failure know

But happier days

What do leaders know

But the burden of the world

What does war know

But death as it begins to unfurl

What does joy know

But smiling faces

And what does a wanderer know

But of new places

What does the world know

But its rotation

And what does a dying man know

But the end

What do we know

But the past

And what does the future know

But a chance?
