WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN
Tears streaming down, her
heart is broken
Because her life is hurting, so am I
He wears a frown, his dreams are choking
And because he stands alone, his dreams will die
So, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I pray
What about the children
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
So what about the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
Sir, where is your son
Where lies his refuge
And if he can't come to you, then where can he run
Such a foolish girl, yet still, she's your daughter
And if you will just reminisce your days of young
You see, it's not where you've been, nor what you've done
Because I know a friend who specializes in great outcomes
See His love overcomes
Because her life is hurting, so am I
He wears a frown, his dreams are choking
And because he stands alone, his dreams will die
So, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I pray
What about the children
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
So what about the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
Sir, where is your son
Where lies his refuge
And if he can't come to you, then where can he run
Such a foolish girl, yet still, she's your daughter
And if you will just reminisce your days of young
You see, it's not where you've been, nor what you've done
Because I know a friend who specializes in great outcomes
See His love overcomes
What about the children
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
So what about the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
So what about the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
What about the children
Don’t just turn and walk away
What about the children
They need our love and our help today
What about the children
Remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today
What about the children……

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your poem. It seems to say that we as individuals and as a country need to make sure children have safety and security before we work on academics. So many children are not getting their basic needs met, and it is so sad. Thanks for sharing.

I want to thank you for your blog. I responded to your blog in some weeks and you had many resources that were very helpful for me. Your words of inspiration and motivation were amazing. The child's drawing and your favorite book that reminds you of your childhood. It's very interesting to have met you in class and got to know your expereinces you have had in early childhood education. I had never done a blog or even looked into any blog and taking this class has inspired me when making my own blog and reading other blogs. We are all different in many ways but we all have the same passion for children. I wish you the best in your education and I hope you can achieve all your dreams and goals!!
