UNWANTED CHILD

Yesterday's tears. Tracking down neglected cheeks, Through grime and dirt On frowning face. Who will wipe them dry And make her smile? Unwanted child. Yesterday's fears. Haunting her another day. She makes her bed In alley ways. Who will take her home And make her warm? Unwanted child. Yesterday's hunger. Eating at her; wants and needs; Food can't be found At any cost. Who will nourish her And give her life? Unwanted child. Yesterday's life. Passing now to be no more. Forlorn and cold On hated streets. Who will bury her And give her rest? Unwanted child.
