A story born from a deep reflection of the courage it takes to face the past. It is a tribute to the people who shape us, the wounds that change us, and the unexpected ways love continues long after a life has ended.

A collection of poems to honour children in war. In the echoes of gunfire, exploding bombs, and falling walls, the voices of children are often forgotten. Yet they still cry, dream, and hope just like everyone else. This collection is not a lament, but a call to remind us that even in war, the unspoken voices of children still whisper of a future where peace can bloom and where war may steal their world, but it cannot steal their dreams.

These pages are a quiet room — a sanctuary where you can rest, return, and remember yourself. Move slowly here. Let the words meet you gently, the way light touches a still surface. There is no right way to read this book. Open to any page. Pause where your spirit softens. Take what you need. Leave the rest for another day. May these words be a soft landing, a steadying hand, a reminder that you are not alone.
