I was inspired by Bhuwan's efforts to save children in Nepal. I read Lady Peg's tribute to Bhuwan and felt to individuals (like Bhuwan) and humanitarian agencies that are working in poor nations to help children in difficult situations. This poem is particularly a mark of respect to those agencies that are still working in Somalia despite tremendous hardiships and insecurity.


When you were conceived
I opened a maternal clinic
I told your mom to pay a visit
I gave her antenatal care
I love you, dear child
You are the pearl of life

When you were born
I rushed with the vaccines.
I gave you timely injections.
I protected you from diseases.
I love you, dear child.
You are the pearl of life

When diarrohea gazed upon you
You nearly died from dehydration
I treated you with packets of ORS
I saved you with “Solution of Miracle”
I love you, dear child
you are the pearl of life

When you became depleted
When your growth faltered
When you got terribly stunted
I rescued you with vitamins
I love you, dear child
you are the pearl of life

When you reached school age
I sought funds to educate you
Like the red arrows of the dawn
The day broke out in your heart
I love you, dear child
You are the pearl of life

When the war broke out
You found yourself displaced
I set up a Camp for you
I fed you with milk and UNIMIX
I saw life slowly returning to you
Your eyes glowed with fire of hope
I love you dear child,
you are the pearl of life

When the city was set ablaze
You crossed the border
You became a child refugee
I advocated for your rights
When you were repatriated
I blew the charity whislte
Some heard it, others ignored
But I was always beside you
I love you dear child
You are the pearl of life

Though you are a teenager now
I have not yet finished with you
your hormones are raging
I must preach safe sex
I can’t afford to lose you
I love you, dear child
You are the pearl of life

You may not know me, dear child
I am a welfare Agency in Somalia
Iam National. I am International
I am a United Nations organization
I make appeals, prepare proposals
I address your earthly problems
I am always at your disposal
I love you, dear child
you are the pearl of life

Thanks to all who reviewed this poem. I particularly wish to mention here that the previous review of Eileen on this same poem still stands true and accurate. Because of the high demand for their services, it seems that agencies replaced the role or parents in the poor nations.
