Tears Of A Child

It seems like a nightmare because the world is in
So much pain

You can read about it in the newspaper as you
Bow your head in shame

The demise of our children is multiplying everyday
Some are raped or murdered at home
Or while they play

Their hearts beat like a drum as they live in
So much fear

God made them to be a Blessing but their drowning
In their own tears

How often have you heard about a child that
Has been neglected

Now they are killing each other on the grounds
Of being disrespected

You can see several pictures of missing children
Each day, please take the time and listen to
What they have to say

We need to come together and stop this cycle
Of pain, because the tears of a child
Should never be in vain
