odds

The ragged children at the corners of desolate streets at night. The smile on their faces, blissfully unaware of their reality as their parents gaze at them in desolation with the thought of the future that awaits them. The upward curve, despite the circumstances stacked against the odds, never fades (at least until they remain in that euphoric period of childhood)
