When Heaven Glows
When heaven glows I see the sight
as twinkling stars light up the night
where in the dark the demons lurk
awaiting time to do their work
and every babe has curled up tight.
In youth no thoughts of pain alight
while mother’s arms soothe children’s fright
and moonlit shadows go berserk
when heaven glows.
When will we stop our children’s plight
and end their pain and set things right
no more our duty shall we shirk
as children squalor in the murk
with warm caress we’ll hug them tight
when heaven glows.
