Suffer Little Children

Happy, smiling, round and sweet, gurgling at their mother's feet, fed and clean and warm and happy, snuggled in a clean white nappy. Crying, hungry at empty breast, cold and swollen stomach as the rest, war-torn panic reigns all around, a child lays dying and makes no sound. Oh! the injustice of these children's lives-some happy, smiling-while another dies sometimes this world just is not fair, one death's too many-what to compare. God in your compassion help us to see-we cant let this happen-we cant let this be, Guide us God with your saving grace, help us give all children a smile on their face.

For whatever happens to Man we cannot put on God the blame. Our Lord has made his decree known to us. If only we could follow it, things could be better! A powerful poem dearest, Julie. Hugs xxx
