I'm Looking In

There you are my little ones,
Come sit on Nanny's knee,
Look at the beauty, the innocence,
In your little faces, that I see.

You're growing oh so fast,
I pray that time will fly by,
For deep inside I hurt for you,
And no words can explain why.

You've been cheated of your home,
And what a family's meant to be,
You've been cheated of life's beauty,
From everything I see.

I pray your life will improve,
As each day passes by,
Because as I think of you today,
Brings teardrops to my eyes.

I take a look at your tiny faces,
On the pictures that I have,
As I think of your lives today,
And it makes me very sad.

It wasn't meant to be this way,
You so deserved the best,
But through anger in their hearts,
I guess it made them soon forget.

If I could just be a little closer,
To make a difference for you alone,
You could grow in love and health,
And have a happy home.
