Cry Not Little Ones Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Abandoned at birth in hospitals
Abandoned in orphanages
Abandoned on door steps of strangers
Abandoned in streets
Abandoned in toilets
Babies abandoned by their mothers
God is in control so cry not little ones.

God has plans for all living souls
You may be regarded as mistakes
Little ones, you may even be regarded as hindrances
They talk of unplanned pregnancies
They call children born out of wedlock bastards
But God makes no mistakes
So, cry not little ones you are not a hindrance in God's eyes
Cry not little ones God has planned and mapped out your lives
To God you are not bastards.

Cry not little ones ones
Some born like you grow up to be prominent business people
Cry not little ones
Some of your own grow up to be revered
leaders
Cry not little ones
Cry not little ones.
