Could my words
be rooted in your hearts and
host my woes and screams?
Oh sweep off
these nightmares
andd bring me
dreams lovely and fair.
Ah! late in the night,
when the world gets quiet,
and the distant stars
take on the darkness
with meek and feeble light,
Then i pray:
O lord of the heaven and earth,
Why have I been fretted since birth?
Could I be secured
from the life obscured?
I am a flower, distant to bloom,
I am a child,
save me from doom.
Had to read it a couple of times, its very potent to these times, where its expected of children to grow up to soon, we forget the suffering of others, this is a sad reminder, especially like the second stanza, we need the prayers of all men to listen and work together for solutions.
What a beautiful poem! Adults or child some fears are the same!
An appeal from a helpless heart to be treated with greater dignity and more warmth! ! A cry heard, here, there, every where! ! Heart rending! !
a right use of the tabs, indeed...it goes directly to the service of humanity... May God bless us all... the picture of the society is bleak, so the poem is bleak with no bright light of hope...since we are humans and we stop being positive at times, it's so natural... good poem! ! !
children should not be crying. laughter should b heard. nice poem
