Children of Conflict Second Chance Contest

they lay cold and hungry on war torn streets lost in the conflict, no one hugs away fears frightened, confused, by the noise and the heat found by children's rescue, crying ... no tears in a state of shock, in ruins we found them trembling, lying in dirt, not knowing we care bathed and fed them, clinging fast to my hem glad to have someone, who for them is there. found homes for most of them in countries afar the love and silence is overwhelming a small smile is reward to the folks who care giving them hope and love unending. penned 22 May 2016 Children of Conflict final date of contest N/A Weepy Quatrain 6/20/2016 Judged 5/22/2016 7:09:00 PM given N/A
