Published by New Worlds Unlimited in Memories of the Halcyon Days,1987.

                                     MY CHILD SMILES

My child smiles

For she knows nothing of the world

And that is good.

My child cries

And she knows nothing of the sorrow of the world

And that is good.

My child laughs

And that is good for the world.
