Who Will Help the Little Girl Smile?
Who will help the little girl smile,
while she watches her Mom be pulled away from her?
Who will help the little girl smile,
when she sees her Mom put the needle into her arm?
Who will help the little girl smile,
while she wonders where her next meal comes from?
Who will help the little girl smile,
when she is looking for a permanent place to stay?
Who will help the little girl smile,
when she does not see her biological Mom for a while?
Who will help the little girl smile,
while she is dropping that last handful of dirt on her?
Who will help the little girl smile
or put the sparkle back in her eyes?
Who will help the little girl smile
as she looks up to the sky and asked why?
Who will help the little girl smile,
when she looks up to God and says, who will love me?
The Foster Parents that's who!
