For the children left all alone in this world,
Crying out loud and not to be heard.
What becomes of their souls when we look away?
Mercy is calling on our hearts today.
They see not the world as we do in kind,
We see joy, excitement, and good in our minds.
They see the darkness, misery and pain,
Mercy Is calling on us once again.
What becomes of this child living in fear?
Does anger replace the terror and tears?
Do we just keep living and try to forget it?
Mercy is calling to say we’ll regret it.
These children are one with our Creator.
Don’t push thoughts away to think about later.
Our children, brothers and sisters in Christ,
Mercy is calling to say help them with life.
They starve, they freeze, they hurt, they need.
We must give love and warmth, we must feed.
Their bodies shrivel, their spirits die,
Mercy is calling do not cast them aside.
They look to God for answers to why,
Everyone sees but just passes them by.
God cries at us from the Heavens above,
Mercy is calling! Mercy is calling! For love.

Lynn--This picture is so heartfelt. It is perfect for this poem. This poem is very good and it shows everyone that we should help them. I pray that it wakes everyone up. It sure did wake me up. There are more starving children right here in the United States than we think. There are children on the streets. Thank you Lynn for putting the children in our awareness. God Bless.
