Oh Child

I was so glad to welcome you And it was such a joy to hold you Never wondered how life could’ve been without you For I wish My womb could never have carried you Feed baby feed on some milk Do not cry with fear i am right here Close your ears listen to what I want you to hear If I am to protect you with my life I would cover you in arms I know you are starving and my body is drying I can’t produce any more milk for I am starving too Oh child If I had knew tomorrow would bring war and harm you I would never wished for your existence My heart is bleeding my eyes are flooded with bloody tears Can’t imagine how lonely you might be Are there no mother angels please cuddle my child and tell him not to cry Oh my dear child I plead for peace I plead for Justice I plead for calmness Is it not what we are fighting for less worth than our lives Than the young children Is pointing guns at one another necessary than a talk on a table A talk on a table would save our tomorrow
