Where's the blessing
when the sun refuses to shine
the birds deny their song
a child chooses to cry?

Where's the blessing
when the stars lose their glisten
the flowers forget to bloom
the pain is unbearing?

Where's the blessing
when a mother forgets her child
then turns and walk away
to a world of unknown?

Where's the blessing
when darkness is overcast
the world's upside down
life becomes such torture?

We tend to forget
the little things in this life
the spark to encourage
the eyes of a child.

What happened
to the blessing?
