There are prayers that we’ve been praying Hoping hunger will somehow vanish away Little hands held up to heaven obeying Laughing and smiling, children are playing In spite of hardship that leads them astray There are prayers that we’ve been praying Kind hearts whisper into small ears, saying Just believe and God will answer you someday Little hands held up to heaven obeying Silent lights glimmer through nights, swaying Listen to that still, small voice and obey There are prayers that we’ve been praying Gentleness and meekness call out, portraying Warm, rich compassion like that on the Lord’s day Little hands held up to heaven obeying Humanity lifts spirits who we should be repaying Children who need love that we can’t betray There are prayers that we’ve been praying Little hands held up to heaven obeying A Major World Problem Contest Sponsored by: L MILTON HANKINS April 12, 2021

Oh Gina, your soulful pen spills poignant ink upon the page with expressive imagery that reaches in deeply to squeeze the heart. So very sad to know there are children going hungry. A major world problem, indeed.. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my gifted friend.. ~Susan
