It Breaks My Heart

It breaks my heart because what is happening To some of the children in the world today They aren't being cared for and are abused As parents you should take care of the gift God gave you!!!
These days I know as parents that you must be afraid To turn your children loose in this world Because there's so much crime and violence that happens And you never know if they will return safe or not.
It breaks my heart to see how Guns seem to be taking over our schools and homes I'm sure if you were to ask the survivors of a school shooting They would say that they never thought that it would of happened.
