Hungry, Lost, Afraid!

what child is this
that haunts my night,
leaves me sleepless,

and filled with anguish?
those eyes staring at me
across the miles of darkness...

hungry, lost, afraid....
i cannot shake this image,
this feeling eats at my soul....

who are you?
where are you?
what can i do to help?
