Poem: Silent Cries and Hidden Tears
Tonight a child cries
But no tears come
They cry
Of a heartfelt pain
In deep longing
And of physical pain
Pain from
Lack of food
Lack of love
Lack of shelter
Lack of medicine
Lack of education
These are the
Silent Cries
Cries of a child who
Needs food to nourish them
Needs a home to shelter and cherish them
Needs to feel loved unconditionally
Needs opportunities to grow, heal and learn
But most of all
Needs parents to belong to
And a mom and dad to love them.
These are the Hidden Tears
Tears of a child who
Wants to belong and to be wanted by someone.
These are the Silent Cries and Hidden Tears
Of a Child waiting
Waiting for you to make a difference.
Everytime you donate, you save a life and make a difference forever.
