A child in want of a solid meal
No shoes or coat to stop the shivering
A look of pain that stabs my heart
Eyes burn my soul and wont take flight
No want for toys or even candy
Just love or hugs could make him happy
He cries for someone that is near
The person he seeks does'nt hear
The innocence lost can ne'r be found
A life of dreams that wont be seen
He wishes for a warm blanket
The boy of four is lost without it
Daddys gone and mommy too
You'll stay with auntie till there through
No talking back or acting spoiled
He sits and waits to find his home
He wonders why the others tease him
Because his clothes are always torn
The boy of four is learning things
That take him places he need not be
The youngster knows that tonites the nite
That mom and dad he wont see fight
And as he lays his head to rest
A warm blanket makes him feel blessed

her sweet song of laughter
