Iron In The Soul Poem by Volles Banda

With no nurse or midwife
You took your first breath
On this suffering earth
And in the cold blowing wind
Heartlessly mama left you
All alone to die
For you had the deadly virus

Trying to heal the scars
Brightly the lucky stars
Shone on your broken soul
As all the new kinsmen you found
So heartedly cared for you

Now like blown by a volley of bullets
Our hearts are wounded
And are left so hollow
As the tears of sorrow
Keep on running down our cheeks
Like a river flooded valley
For you have forever closed
Your little and innocent eyes

But we know as you ascend
So high beyond the clouds
Wide open are the gates o f heaven
Welcoming you to a new haven
Where forever you will live
In joy with the mighty King
