What about Child Abuse?

-

Dear Lord, I come to you in Prayer

There is a problem down here that isn't very fair

It's your children Lord I want to talk about,

Their being abused and there's no way out

-

It hurts me to see this being done

A child looks for love and finds none

One of your creatures that knows no sin

What a way for a new life to begin

-

I heard a little girl sing a song on the radio

That swelled my heart and the tears began to flow

The child sang of bruises black and blue

Oh Lord, What can we do?

-

The abuse will not go away

That is why I have decided to pray

Lonesome children that need so much Love

The only true help must come from above

-

A child alone, her feelings tucked on a shelf

With no experience to help herself

No guidance to help her through

Oh Lord, Please touch her as I want to

-

A little boy lost and alone

No where to go, he can't go home

If he does, he'll be broke in two

Frightened, he doesn't know what to do

-

A little baby hungry and wet

Cast aside like an unwanted pet

No touching or cuddling of the bust

This child wont know how to trust

-

And when a woman drowns the children she claims to love

I begin to wonder if there is a God above

But if I didn't know you are there

I wouldn't be able to send this prayer

-

I know that you have been watching your children along

Keep them safe as they belong

Keep them close and safe tonight

And Lord, Let them know love, not fright
