“A Childhood They Never Chose
<p>Sometimes, I look at the children on the streets and my heart quietly breaks.</p><p>I see them under the hot sun, walking from one car to another, carrying things that look too heavy for their little bodies. I see them knocking on windows, asking strangers to buy something from them.</p><p>And I wonder...</p><p>When was the last time someone told them, “You don't have to worry. I've got you”?</p><p>When was the last time they slept without worrying about tomorrow?</p><p>When was the last time they ate until they were full?</p><p>When was the last time they laughed like children without having to think about money?</p><p>They are so young, yet, life has already forced them to understand things children should never have to understand.</p><p>While some children are at home complaining about food they don't like, another child is praying for just one meal.</p><p>While some children are complaining about going to school, another child is watching them pass by and wishing, “I wish that was me.”</p><p>And that's what hurts.</p><p>They didn't ask for this life.</p><p>They didn't choose to be born poor.</p><p>They didn't choose to spend their childhood on the streets.</p><p>They were just born into circumstances they couldn't control.</p><p>Sometimes I wish we could see what is behind those little faces.</p><p>Maybe there is a child who dreams of becoming a doctor.</p><p>Maybe another dreams of becoming a teacher.</p><p>Maybe there is a brilliant mind out there, carrying a dream that is slowly fading—not because the dream wasn't big enough, but because nobody gave the child a chance.</p><p>So the next time you see a child on the street, don't just see someone trying to sell you something.</p><p>See a child</p><p>See a child who deserves to be loved.</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">And I hope that one day, these children will no longer have to stand under the burning sun, asking the world to notice them.</span><br/></p><p>I hope they get the chance to put down whatever they are carrying, go to school, come home safely, eat a warm meal and simply be children.</p>
