A child`s Cry
Could my words be rooted in your hearts serene
And wish to host my woes and screams
And sweep off these nightmares
And to bring me lovely dreams.
Ah! late in the night,
when the whole world gets quiet
And the distant stars
Take on the horrid darkness
With meek and feeble light.
I pray to thee
O lord of the heaven and earth!
Why have I been so fret since birth?
Could I be secured from the life obscure?
And get rid of all my woes and fears?
I am a flower distant to be bloomed
I am a child save me from doom

read mine hear the children crying.
hear the children crying. The voice of the children crying have been taken for granted but poets will never shut their mouth for them. Thank you for writing this poem and keep on writing
we all hear the cry but we always ignore it but now with you piece we will have open our heart and act on it
a job well done sir
bravo work
Dear Gulsher, your words are totally true. this life is somehow wild to lots of children. but we can make a change. we can make great and perfect changes by our words.
well done. you act as the humanity needs.
Had to read it a couple of times, its very potent to these times, where its expected of children to grow up to soon, we forget the suffering of others, this is a sad reminder, especially like the second stanza, we need the prayers of all men to listen and work together for solutions.

What a beautiful poem! Adults or child some fears are the same!
This is to you, Gulsher John!
From me, A poet yet to be born!
Life in your poem, as you've drawn,
The more I read, I'm virtually torn
It is real difficult to be all alone,
Laying down, like in a bed of thorn
Promise, Together we will wait upon,
To see a shining, break of dawn!
Your friend from India

It's a nice piece and it's true even adult sometimes spent restless night and feel helpless.. just like a child, thanks for sharing
An appeal from a helpless heart to be treated with greater dignity and more warmth! ! A cry heard, here, there, every where! ! Heart rending! !
