More than A Piece Of Cake : Inspirational Poetry

In a city filled with hate came a little child with a plate

and on it was a piece of Christmas cake .

 He handed it over to an occupying soldier

And suddenly barriers began to break .

The soldier put down his gun

and smiled at the little one

And that was the difference between trust and fear .

It proved not every one is bad

and what a taste the cake had ,

For it lingered there until the new year .
