Innocents Lost

A four-year old girl is missing in Europe. Another girl, also four, was shot dead in Milwaukee this week--the victim of a stray bullet.

Children represent a brighter future. They're innocent and curious. They're how we used to be, before we became burdened by our obligations and our possessions.

They're our responsibility. From the moment of conception till their day of independence. And still, when they're grown, we offer them a safe place and a comforting embrace.

I don't understand people who don't value children. The world would be a much happier place without them.
