A Blanket


For every baby that lies in the cold. For each infant who was told- they are not loved. For every child that sobbed tears. For every year that passed without a smile. If I could, I would provide a blanket. A blanket provides shelter. A blanket provides warmth. A blanket provides affection. Love that didn't come from the expected direction. But eventually, love would come. Love would come.
