LONELY CHILD Torch is passed No mystery Behind the consternation On my furrowed brow Trudging through the minefields Longing for completion Sacred glimpse of home Seeking love Unconditional Revelations Rare Hurdles Monumental Taking time to change Soaking up the truth Behind these bedroom eyes Lonely child remains Selfish in such longing Unbiased bulletin Forgive My insecurity Indulge My fragile passion Accept My humble plea � Bill Grimes Jr. 2007

When adults listen, children won't have a need to join gangs and do all sorts of ugly things just to get attention.

Incredible poem.
God bless you. Kathy

Beautiful reminder of how just looking into the eyes of a child one can see the longing of acceptance....

Be safe,

So many of these and everywhere you look their eyes seem to say, "Can you hear me? Will somebody please just listen!"
