Every Child Cries
8:14 AM 18 Jan 2023
A sad sweet story of lifes strange path
Twists and turns hills and vales, love and wrath
Born into a quiet room then a flood of light
A breath is taken and every child cries
Hunger, fevers and dirty diapers
And every child cries
Growing walking developing while falling
And every child cries
Learning discerning loving and failing
And every child cries
Leaving succeeding and birthing their own
And every child cries
Ageing and rearing and loving and careing
And every child cries
Declining and dieing and no longer crying
Still every child cries
