Faces Don't Exemplify

Faces don't exemplify the true person...

God bless the children without a home,
those who've been left to make it on their own.
Teardrops settle on tiny cheeks,
doesn't anyone care why they weep?

God bless the children without a home,
will they grow up to go it alone?
Never to know the love of a Mother or Dad,
doesn't it touch your heart and make you sad?

God bless the children without a home,
never taught how to use a brush or a comb.
Don't know how to express their love,
won't offer another a kiss or a hug.

God bless the children without a home,
those who seek love but are forever lonesome.
Yearning for a family...all their own,
afraid they'll never find a place to atone.

God bless the children without a home,
we may never know how it is to be all alone.
Faces don't exemplify our real identity,
no warm love in life can create an empty shell.

This makes me weep. I see these children around everyday. if the world does not give attention to your calls then we must be prepared to have millions of terrorists in this world because such children grow to hate and take any offer to harm others. Well done Barbara

So emotional a write indeed. There are so many children who are left to fend for themselves at such a young age. They learn lessons beyond their tender years. Good write.

Be safe,
Karen

Such a touching write my friend...I agree God bless the children without a home, and those whom have an abusive home! I don't understand how anyone can be mean or cruel to a child! Your poem is full of compassion from the heart, and a genuine concern! Enjoyed this much, a touching and powerful write!
Blessings,

Barbara, you've written a lovely poem and the sentence you wrote is so true that "Faces don't exemplify our real identity". I worked briefly as a foster parent once, and it is a sad thing when children lose their parents, their home, and all the things familiar to them that puts stability in their lives. Excellent write.
