Turned Away
They were sent for every cure.
They were sent to help endure.
They were sent with most eloquent quill.
They were sent by faith to heal.
They were sent with the most romantic songs.
They were sent to right the wrongs.
They were sent as perfect mates.
They were sent to banish hate.
They were sent to bring world peace.
They were sent for pain to cease.
They were sent to take a stand.
They were sent to heal the land.
They were sent with milk and honey.
They were sent to feed the hungry.
We pray their arrival every day,
yet before their birth, they're turned away.
