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.
