Appreciate


The thin layer of skin covering bone.

The priviledged kids whining when they dont recieve their favorite food.

The grumbling stomachs of children.

The kids who eat until they are sick.

The regret of parents who can not provide enough for their child.

The carelessness of the parents who think they can buy their kids love.

The long days of collecting anything to stay alive one more day.

The cabinets full of food but "nothing to eat."

The children dying of starvation.

The kids tucked into nice warm beds with a full stomach.
