Our Children

So many children crying out in pain

not knowing the what or the why!

They are part of our story, so fragile and small;

What is to be our reply?

They wish to bring comfort, then closure, to those

who shared their abuse and their pain.

As the truth comes to light - stories finally heard -

we must help free the souls who remain.

They are showing us all the results of control

brought by violence, and anger, and fear.

They are shinning their light for the whole world to see,

voicing Truths all humanity must hear.

They are waiting to know we have listened and learned

that the need of all children of earth

is to grow up in peace, surrounded by love,

to be happy, and know their self-worth.
