Lost Children

Lost
Children
Dirt abound
Swollen bellies
The ground for sleeping
They need food and water
Asking for money to help
Nameless faces on the telly
Only one call needed to begin.

Holly; This is so true There are lots of hungry children out there. So much food is thrown, or wasted here. I always help whenever I can. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
