Fair and Square?

A little girl sings:                                              

“Dresses and laces, the pettier the better;

Pearls and diamonds, the shiner the better;

Candies and chocolates, the sweeter the better;

Homes and houses, the bigger the better;

The world is fair and square, for I have been told;

Though it rains and snows, my dream will shine through it all.”

An old lady chants:

“Tops and bottoms, the simpler the better;

Bones and hearts, the stronger the better;

Veggies and fruits, the fresher the better;

Friends and friendships, the truer the better;

The world is NOT fair and square, for I have lost my child.

Though it still can be beautiful, through the reflections of my broken heart.”
