The child who hides behind laughter The child who reaches out with tears The child who no one looks after Who runs away when someone nears Never got a mamma’s “spit bath” Never danced on daddy’s toes No one to ever help with math No wall marks to show how he grows Amplified loneliness music Hollow echoes of lack of sound Ears strain to hear a doorknob click Rooms and hearts waiting to be found The lonely ache of nothingness, A much deeper hurt than the pain Of a hard hand’s angry caress - Storms: they beat clouds that never rain. God, fill their dark, unquiet nights With brave, beautiful, dancing dream. Let them meet smiles, inspiring lights, Though from strangers’ faces they stream. Home won’t protect them, nurture them So, God, please safely bring them here. We will teach them, try to guide them, Let them know that to us they’re dear.
