Save me
from the pangs of hunger
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!
