CALLING OUT TO YOU

Save me

from the pangs of hunger

from the long walks to  school

from growing up before I become a child

For everyone deserves a chance to be a child

Heal me,

of my internal wounds

of my fresh sores

of my malnutrition

For everyone deserves to be healthy

Rescue me,

from the jaws of my brothers

from unwanted pregnancy

from early marriages

For though I want a family,

I would rather be in a different condition first!

Hear me

when I cry out to you

when I explain my pains

when I don't make any sound

for sometimes, it is the strength that I lack


Teach me, God knows I need the education

Hold me, for I need the affection

Talk to me, tell me it will all be different someday

for I need something to hope for
Look into my eyes, and make me a promise

that you will try and make my life better

And I dare you

To keep your promise!

Hey, glad it had an effect on you. We can not always help...at least not in monetary ways....sometimes, just making sure others don't forget they exist is a big help.
