I am a little girl who loves
to watch the little lambs at play
to smell the fragrance of the flowers
and jump and roll upon the grass
I had a lot of friends my age
a game of hide and seek we'd play
they'd hide behind that giant rock
and one by one i'd search them out-
This time around I've looked for them
in every place they'd hide
I've called their names a thousand times
to only hear my cry- -
I long to see my mom and Dad
who have'nt seen me in a while
my grandma says they're watching me
they're in a fairy land - - -
I wait for them all day and night
to bring me food and toys
I have no shoes to walk around
my clothes have holes in them- - -
I'm scared to venture out and play
I'm scared to sleep and dream
Why cant i have my dolls and dreams
Why must i live in fear- -
I'm sure you love your kids back home
who run to you for warmth and love
who love to cuddle in your arms
the ones you whirl around - -
Please take these words to kids you see
in parks and schools you have back home
i hope they all would understand
and knock a little sense in them
to stop this scary game they play
it frightens me no end- - -
i am a little child who loves
to skip and dance and play

Children are the same all over the world. Innocent, sweet and deserving of a happy, safe, loving and nurturing environment. I pray for peace and the well being of the children, who will one day lead this one planet. Thank you for sharing, Zaheer Peace
