When will children's voices be heard?
The ones who cry out in need of a hand
The ones trapped in rubble
who are dying from no fault of their own.

When will the un-natural state of war be silenced
and mankind awaken for peace on earth?
The time is no to reconnect inside love.
The time is now to treat every child as one's own.

When will the controlling forces
that perpetuate violence
against humanity open their hearts for peace?

My prayers go out to the little souls
who can’t fend for themselves.

My prayers go out as I take breath
to hold onto trust and faith.

Faith that God will hold the children
in loving embrace until help comes.
