I wrote this from the questions I heard this small child asking. It broke my heart.

A LITTLE FELLOW’S PLEA

I’m just a little fellow.

Trying to make my way through life.

I’m just a little fellow.

Today I turned just six.

I’m just a little fellow.

Who trust in the this big world.

Who has known nothing but hurt.

Who hears about the wars,

I’m just a little fellow.

Why am I so ignored.

I’m just a little fellow.

Who hears of guns and bombs.

I’m just a little fellow.

But I’ll try to be real grown.

I’m just a little fellow.

Who will salute the flag.

But one day I will be grown.

I’m just a little fellow.

Who one day will bring the daddy’s home.

This was a deep poem, Patricia. Too bad that the people who can change the course of those rivers don't read poetry. Wonderful! Mark
