Save a Child

The very saddest thing the saddest of all, Is to see a little small child starving and waiting for death to call. And see it’s momma pleading with her eyes hoping someone will help her child. While we sit here obese with our plates so full, how high the food is really piled!! Our world is so unbalanced and so unfair, There is enough to go around but we have to share. If every person could hold a starving child as it draws it’s last breath, And have that child look into your eyes with hopes you have come to spare it this death. I think maybe then we would all reach into our jeans, And share what we’ve got so none of us has to witness this scene. I pray that peace and happiness fill every ones heart, And that we all dig a little deeper and let this gift of sharing grow from the start. A starving child is no ones enemy, And pity won’t feed it or set it free. If you can help and you don’t that is like committing a crime, I pray you and yours never experience this sadness and that it can be stopped in our lifetime. Send what you can I know you’ll be blessed, Help that little child please give it your best.
