children


my heart hardens to hear these kids in the world 

being beat to death 

broken bones and wounded hearts 

shameful memories and scattered parts 

lost families, like a puzzle piece 

tears fill my eyes at the thought of kids being gone 

to many kids being hurt 

no way to save them from this tragedy 

help them o lord 

these kids so young and fragil 

no wonder kids cant seem to trust 

or even bond with one another 

parents leave them  unattended to drugs and such 

what are parents thinking? 

or wait are they thinking ? 

its just unreal this world and what its coming to 

please lord give this world inner peace please 

thank you
