You wrote the feeling of despair so well my dear friend. I must admit even as sad and trouble as it it you make it beautiful. Bless you Susan I know where your heart lies. The right place always. Lily
Tue, March 9th, 2010 6:59pmSo sad but unfortunately true. So many children and adults who need help. With all which has happened the last few months, I mean the earthquakes, this will be a major problem the world will face. I can see where the anger comes in. Nice job.
Tue, March 9th, 2010 7:25pmI always wonder what generation will see the end of hungry children. I wonder if it will ever be. So well written and with great feeling. Donna
Tue, March 9th, 2010 8:11pmSad my friend. Really sad but beautifully written. I too want to see the end of children that have no food, shelter, education, and love. What a great world it would be. M

Wed, March 10th, 2010 5:36amThis is so very sad but well written. Excellent as always.
Wed, March 10th, 2010 5:12pmYou always write the most beautiful poems about the most tragic things. I wish the world would learn that all need to have. We can do it if we try. You did great. Angie :)
Wed, March 10th, 2010 11:49pmAn excellent poem. Tragic there are those especially children who are homeless and starving. I can understand how it breeds a cerain animosity. You did a fine job expressing that in this poem.
Thu, March 11th, 2010 1:49amA lovely poem that paints a picture of poverty that we sometimes miss and that exists on our own doorstep. When I climb into my lovely warm bed at night I always feel a twang of guilt and say a little prayers for those less fortunate than myself. This poem really tugs at the heart. Thank you Susan - beautifully written. Pat
Thu, March 11th, 2010 11:01pmA tragic write that you wrote with beauty. I want for a day when this ends as well. We all need to do more to see it happens. Well done. Chad
Fri, March 12th, 2010 5:37pmThis is the other one i commented on, wonder what happened. never-the-less Susan this got my tears, so beautifull sad - a great write Susan - Hugs Chiqui
Fri, March 12th, 2010 9:06pmI read several of the comments others left and cannot understand what is wrong with what you wrote. I see poor children everyday and see how they are treated by their peers. The adults are no exception. Pride does not feed children or people when they are hungry, nor does it provide shelter or warmth. Human caring is the solution. Awareness is need befor caring enters in. I personally love this poem. It came from a caring soul. Twaddle on strength and pride when aid is needed. Lily

Hi Lily and thank you. I was poor in my life as well. Charity and sympathy are hard pills to swallow. You are right about not feeding or housing you. I guess pride only goes so far. A shame to have too much pride, it is a sin. Pride goeth before a fall. Susan :)
Mon, March 15th, 2010 9:50pmA sad but beautiful heartcry. I have seen countless such children in my many years abroad, and countless here in the so called great westrn society! It is so sad that such can exist in this world.

Hi my friend and thank you. I see them as well. My heart wants to just pull them close and show them the love they deserve. Several people I work with are foster parents. Working on Gary to go in that direction. I have to make sure he is up to it first. Susan :)
