When the angel smiles upon us

during classes,
you could see them running around
making very adorable noise to amuse you
jumping around and smiling away happily
sometimes they are annoying
but in the end, they are the ones that gives back the laughter.

they are as normal as any other kids are.
over-pampered by their parents
and as naive as any pure-hearted children will be.

they never see themselves as special.
labels are given by "normal" people
to the less fortunate. to them.
they never knew.
they never understood.

and what we "normal" people would love to give is
sympathy, without truly understanding the meaning of helping.

personally, when i first lay my eyes on these little souls
i have no idea of how their future will be.
from what i could see is they have all the love they could get
from everyone around
but what if they were left alone?
they couldn't survive.

i was talking to my supervisor during lunch
was also wondering how will these souls grow up to be
and i was told roughly on how will their lives could be.

Dreams are a luxury for them
as they have no power to achieve dreams like we do.
Luck is the most important asset to these people.
if lucky, you could make it smoothly through some stages in life
but when the luck wears off, its up to them to walk through.

To most of us
life is full of hardship.
hurdles to overcome, problems to solve.
complain complain complain.
nothing is enough so we ask for more
and of course, " I am the centre of the universe."

but did we ever wondered
what could it be if we were in their shoes?

Be grateful people.
